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...)
thanks,
greg k-h What makes the rebuilds that annoying is that we need a long time for even small packages. That is caused by the fact we need to install

Plus we are somehow pulling packages in we don't really need. As an example please let me bring up the package "libdrm": It pulls in less and cvs which, as far as i can determine are not used. That may be caused by wrong Requires for some other packages we could fix but it would need a lot of work. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
