Pale Moon finally started supporting gcc-7.3.0. That all built, installed and is working wonderfully. Tonight (as per regular maintenance) I ran the python coded revdep-rebuild and as usual everything showed to be consistent.
On a lark, I ran the revdep-rebuild.sh and it wants to rebuild 920 packages??? Running the same script on one of my other boxes (which still has the old version of Pale Moon) says everything’s fine.
I vaguely recall reading somewhere around here that the revdep-rebuild.sh might catch things that the new version won’t? Unfortunately I rebooted and don’t have the original complaints the .sh was talking about, but it was definitely Pale Moon related. I'd be glad to post if someone can point me to the right direction of the logs.
Should I be looking down my nose at the new Revdep-Rebuild? _________________ I'm not even mad; I'm impressed! |

unheatedgarage ... no, the refactored revdep-rebuild is probably doing a better job of tracking reverse dependencies.
What's happening is that palemoon bundles versions of cairo, ffmpeg, sqlite, etc, etc, these are used when USE="-system-foo" is set (the default ... because upstream complains when anything diverts from their intentions). So, when you run revdep-rebuild.sh it sees that palemoon is linked to a version of {x} that differs from category/package and so wants to rebuild x,y,z to try and make these consistant. It looks like the refactored revdep-rebuild is more aware of packages with bundled libs, and so those rebuilds are avoided. Previously you needed to use SEARCH_DIRS_MASK to stop revdep-rebuild.sh from including /usr/lib/palemoon in its search path, ie:
/etc/revdep-rebuild/10palemoon: | SEARCH_DIRS_MASK="/usr/lib/palemoon" |
... that seems to be the default with the python version.
HTH & best ... khay |

Keruskerfuerst, they’re the same boxes as far as software goes--both on the stable branch--same everything. :)
khayyam, thank you for your explanation—not sure what I’d do without cats like you; always willing to help; always willing to teach.
There’s a reason why I stick around here—with Gentoo—it’s because of the damn smart people who are willing to gift to us plebes your hard-earned knowledge; no strings attached. You're amongst the Pantheon.
Deep gratitude. _________________ I'm not even mad; I'm impressed! |
