 Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2004 3:16 pm Post subject: handle other packages like Python |
 |
|
The latest upgrade migration to Python is handled well. I like the intended use of "python-updater". Other packages should have a similar update tool, specifically, Berkeley DB and OpenSSL. I recently upgraded both of these, and had to recompile many, many packages. It tool me much longer than necessary to figure out which dependancies were broken and what needed to be recompiled.
I will beg if necessary. Please, whoever wrote "python-updater", create similar tools for Berkeley DB and OpenSSL.  |

Does revdep-rebuild not do what you want?
The warning that comes out at the end of the openssl-0.9.7 build gets whisked away by the 0.9.6 clean, but you can find it in the ebuild:
| Code: |
test-gentoo:~ # grep einfo /usr/portage/dev-libs/openssl/openssl-0.9.7c-r1.ebuild
einfo "Compiling ${P}"
einfo "Forcing ${SSH_TARGET} compile"
einfo "Compiling ${OLD_096_P}"
einfo "You can now re-compile all packages that are linked against"
einfo "OpenSSL 0.9.6 by using revdep-rebuild from gentoolkit:"
einfo "# revdep-rebuild --soname libssl.so.0.9.6"
einfo "# revdep-rebuild --soname libcrypto.so.0.9.6"
einfo "After this, you can delete /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6 and /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6"
|
If that's not whatcha want, ignore this, just trying to leave no post unanswered. |

| I don't know much about it. It seems I was writing ldcheck at the same time someone came up with revdep-rebuild, and I missed the introduction. |
