Yes, but that has not much to do wth the issue here, USE flags are not something that openSUSE wants to get into, and it's one thing that I think is a big problem in Gentoo, as well as a strength.
Note, I've been a Gentoo developer longer than I've been a openSUSE developer, so I know how Gentoo works pretty well :)
Anyone know how Debian handles library checkins into their build system? Do they always rebuild everything? Or is there some other process to determine if rebuilds happen?
It looks as if Debian does not have any automatic rebuilds at all.
Yes, it's a manual process. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=670299 for instance.
Ah, many thanks for that.
So, either we come up with a manual way to do this for openSUSE, or we drown in rebuilds for no good reason (one specific example that just hit Tumbleweed this weekend, update e2fsprogs and watch your whole distro rebuild, that really shouldn't happen...)
An "osc whatdependson" in the form of a tree would help to know why e2fsprogs triggers so many package rebuilds (apparently 2041 of the 5740). It could also be handy to be able to list all the packages from Factory sorted by the result of "osc whatdependson openSUSE:Factory
standard i586 | wc -l" (trying to do it with a loop could take quite a long time, and I'm not sure the OBS would like it).
$ osc whatdependson openSUSE:Factory e2fsprogs standard i586 | wc -l 2041 Somehow I kind of doubt that is really true, trimming the depends on is needed :) greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
