-X option doesn't exist anymore? How do i not get it give the versions for the emerge line (i.e. revdep-rebuild -p)

[t35t0r]

everyone keeps saying the new revdep-rebuild implies -X but it doesn't, it's broken:

# revdep-rebuild -p -i -X

I might be wrong, but it is my understanding that revdep-rebuild will always give a version in the emerge command. However, with old revdep-rebuild without -X this always was the version of the ebuild currently installed, whereas with -X or with the new revdep-rebuild, the version will always be the latest version of that package (probably for the affected slot). So if your only worry is that there are version numbers in the emerge invocation, that should be no problem if these are the version numbers of the latest versions. If it tries to emerge outdated versions, this would really feel like a bug. If so, you should give more details, like for example the version revdep-rebuild would remerge, compared to the version an emerge invocation with no version numbers would use.

As I just posted in Bug 194229:

It is working as designed. -X is no longer a usable option and is only present for backwards compatibility. Secondly, you are misunderstanding how revdep-rebuild works. revdep-rebuild always passes the version to the emerge command. The difference is when in exact mode, it will pass the version that is currently installed. When not in exact mode, it will determine the best version available and pass that to the emerge command. This can be seen by the following output:

# revdep-rebuild --exact --verbose --pretend
