A lot of ebuilds are turning up with screwy DEPEND vs. RDEPEND settings. |
2 |
When working with ebuilds, please keep in mind that RDEPEND should |
3 |
contain everything that needs to merge when installing from a tbz2 |
4 |
binary package, but that's all -- anything else is cruft. DEPEND should |
5 |
contain everything needed to build and install the package. |

Incorrect RDEPEND settings are a serious detriment to QA and screw up |
8 |
GRP. |

Additionally, anyone using newdepend shouldn't -- use DEPEND="${DEPEND} |
11 |
package1 package2..." instead. |

The developer questionnaire has also been updated to bring this up. |
