Hi folks,


is there an option to revdep-rebuild to only do output if it has
something to rebuild ? This should be run via cron to notify me
via email.

Usually "is there an option..." questions are well-answered by "man
<program name>". And in this case the closest thing from the man page
is the -q option, which doesn't do exactly what you want.

revdep-rebuild --help

-p, --pretend Do a trial run without actually emerging anything
(also passed to emerge command)


it would basically show you what would be emerged...
-q and -P might be usefull to get rid of unwated output...

yoyo

There is the --quiet option, but this doesn't remove everything. You
could try redirecting stderr and stdout to see what goes where, or just
pipe the output through sed.

Right, -q still gives too much output
I'd prefer letting portage do everything, instead of maintaining
an additional wrapper ;-o
