Yeah, plugins are often RDEPEND-only and binary packages have an empty |
| 19 |
DEPEND. Those are special packages. I could whitelist *-plugins/* for |
| 20 |
RDEPEND that would remove them from the list. I see about 30 packages |
| 21 |
in the list that use them, maybe a good thing to whitelist for RDEPEND. |
| 22 |
I added sys-apps/ed for sys-cluster/torque and dev-lang/perl for |
| 23 |
dev-libs/openssl to the whitelist. |

The whitelist is already quite large. I don't want to catch everything |
| 29 |
that should be whitelisted. FPs that affect a lot of packages and can |
| 30 |
easy be whitelisted either general or by the means of eclass usage are |
| 31 |
good. |
