udept project is propably dead. Last version start work strangly. Propably better to get it of the portage tree Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to homepage 2. 3. Actual Results: 404 Not Found Expected Results: 200 Ok
app-portage/udept is now package masked.
Can we use 'emerge --depclean' instead ? I think it does the same think, isn't it ?
No, you're wrong this looks to your world file and clean's all records that are dependencies
You can use `emerge -pv --depclean <atom>` to show the reverse dependencies of an installed package.

i'd rather this not be removed. i use it constantly. ed, do you have any plans for udept?

We could mark this WONTFIX, leave it package.masked, and wait until someone steps up...

Could you be more specific? I don't use the depclean stuff, but the info gathering options and --pruneworld all still work.
This is a handy utility for cleaning the world file. I'd rather it stayed in but masked, unless/until something else took it's place, or perhaps the world file cleaning functions were added to perhaps emaint.
I would also like it to stay in tree, I'm using it in on the day to day basis to find rev-deps, and it works a treat ;D So what that development is dead - it usually what hapens when software is working ok, there is no need to waste time on extra versions.
Won't be removed until completely broken.
it's also pretty useful for displaying different versions of a package one below the other when eix and other stuff temporary has broken dependencies (during a system- or world-update): dep -e foo
