Question for portage blackbelts- can emerge rebuild a package and all deps?

Hi All,

I have just done :

Code:

emerge xf86-video-ati

Thing is I forgot to put the right use flags for my input devices, so need to rebuild xf86-video-ati and all of its dependencies.

Is there and option for emerge that would enable a rebuild of a package and all dependencies?

All the best,

Kris

Code:

emerge --update --deep --newuse world

This searches all your packages and their dependencies for any updates, and also checks if any of them were built with different use flags to your current ones and fixes any problems if they have changed :)

Hello,

Another alternative might be:

Code:

emerge --emptytree package

And if you just want to rebuild runtime dependencies:

Code:

emerge --emptytree --root-deps=rdeps package
