Toolchain Sanity [Featre Request]

[eyoung100]

Could the developers please add something like the attached bash script inside the code so that anytime Gentoo has an update to a toolchain package paludis will rebuild the toolchain? I love this package manager. I've only been using it a week or so, and I'm hooked.

Emerge Wrapper Shell Script for properly rebuilding toolchain during updates

This really isn't the sort of thing we want to be shipping ourselves.

I'm not asking that we use that exact script. I'm asking you to add something like a validation routine, so that when something like paludis --install --pretend everything states that an update to gcc is needed that paludis correctly rebuilds gcc and its associated pieces, not just gcc.

Ok, I'll make it clearer for you: your script is voodoo programming. It is completely unnecessary, and there is no need to do any of what you are doing. Everything it does is utterly pointless, and it was cobbled together by people following bad advice from people who don't understand what they're doing who learnt it from other people who don't understand what they're doing who learnt it from people who were trying to get a high forums post count and make themselves look clever and useful by sacrificing chickens and smearing the blood all around the place.
