revdep-rebuild testing

Post #1 of 12 (2962 views)

All:

Since revdep-rebuild is no longer being maintained by the original
author, I volunteered to work on updating and maintaining the script.

I have finished the first version of what I hope to be the next release
of the script and I would like to have it tested by a wider audience to
discover any issues or problems.

If you are interested, please do the following:

emerge -pv gentoolkit and make sure that you are running
app-portage/gentoolkit-0.2.0_pre8, if you are not please install that
version of gentoolkit.

Secondly, go to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62644 and read
comment #2 which documents the changes that I've made to the script.
Then download the script from bugzilla and use it like you would
normally use revdep-rebuild.

Finally, if you note any problems or issues, please add them as comments
to bug# 62644.

I would prefer that any questions about usage or functionality be asked
as a reply to this thread so that I can respond in public for others to
see.

Regards,
Paul Varner

found one:
the new (your) script does not find the same items as the old:

/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.4/i686-linux/auto/SDL_perl/SDL_perl.so

I have perl 5.8.5 installed.

If you know a way how I can track this for you, please tell.

A question - I have the required version of gentoolkit installed. Do I
need to download the script attached to this bug report and replace the
existing revdevp-rebuild with it?

That is actually your preference. I have replaced it myself, but when I
was debugging and testing it, I kept it separate and called it
explicitly to make sure that I was calling the testing version.

For example: I had it my /root/src/revdep-rebuild directory, I would cd
/root/src/revdep-rebuild and then call it with ./revdep-rebuild

The problem that I've run into is not paying attention, and just typing
revdep-rebuild which would find and run the original version.

Paul

Okay. Thanks. I'll put it somewhere safe.

If you can tell me how to break the above library, I can track down why
it isn't being found. I'm assuming that you are running with the
defaults and have not modified any of the search variables.

I'm also assuming that the above library is in the dev-perl/sdl-perl
package.

I'm replying to myself. Nevermind the previous reply, I think that I
found the problem. Apply the attached patch to the downloaded script and
re-run and please let me know the results.

Got it. It's caused by the NOCOLOR setting. I wrote the script to
expect it to be set to true or false, it looks like you have it set to
no. I'll fix the script to do better checking of the values it receives.

Paul

It worked just fine for me. It even found a broken package that the old
revdep-rebuild script did not find.

Thanks for taking this over.

Based upon the feedback that I have received, I have updated the bug
with an updated script. I would appreciate any and all feedback.
