Portage is ready to downgrade icu (no problem, I understand this package is in flux right now), but what do the lowercase r letters indicate in the output below?
| Code: | % sudo emerge world -Du --newuse --with-bdeps=y -p
[ebuild r UD ] dev-libs/icu-49.1.2 [50_rc-r1]
[ebuild rR ] dev-db/sqlite-3.7.14.1
[ebuild rR ] dev-libs/boost-1.51.0-r1 |
Thanks. |

Well, the man-page for emerge says this:
| Code: | | r reinstall (forced for some reason, possibly due to slot or sub-slot) |
Seems it's slot related. |

for me wine pretty often gets pulled in with the new emerge:
| Quote: | [ebuild R #] x11-libs/libdrm-9999::x11 USE="libkms -static-libs" VIDEO_CARDS="intel radeon (-exynos) (-freedreno) -nouveau (-omap) -vmware" 0 kB

for completeness' sake I'll post the man emerge full output for those 2 positions here:
| Quote: | [ebuild r U ] dev-libs/icu-50.1.1:0/50.1.1 [50.1-r2:0/50.1]
Icu 50.1-r2 has already been emerged and can be Updated to ver‐
sion 50.1.1. The r symbol indicates that a sub-slot change (from
50.1 to 50.1.1 in this case) will force packages having
slot-operator dependencies on it to be rebuilt (as libxml2 will
be rebuilt in the next example).
[ebuild rR ] dev-libs/libxml2-2.9.0-r1:2 USE="icu"
Libxml2 2.9.0-r1 has already been emerged, but if you run the
command, then portage will Re-emerge it in order to satisfy a
slot-operator dependency which forces it to be rebuilt when the
icu sub-slot changes (as it changed in the previous example).

I agree that the man page is a good place to look  , but in my case the confusion comes from the difference between "r" and "R":
| Code: | | R replacing (remerging same version) |
A reinstall and a remerge sound pretty much the same to me. I suppose the reason for the remerge/reinstall could be different, but there's little info on that in the man page. Does anybody know what that difference is? |

Portage does a 'R' when you tell it to; i.e. Use flag changes, you specifically asking portage to re-compile a package, etc.
Portage does a 'r' when upgrading some other package somehow breaks the package that has the 'r' next to it. This is a newer thing...maybe it is meant to make us less dependent on commands like revdep-rebuild? |
