3 Could you possibly split the stuff into two files?
4 one for RDEPEND.only and one for DEPEND.only?

6 I see a lot more FP for RDEPEND.only.

8 Many of the RDEPEND.only are correct, as the packages are just scripts
9 that call other binaries to do their work. On the flipside, there are a
10 lot of packages that only need something to build properly (eg
11 sys-cluster/torque needs sys-apps/ed, and dev-libs/openssl has a build
12 system that needs perl).
13
14 I suspect that you'd end up with a massive whitelist if we tried to
15 catch everything.
16
17 For the moment however, I can offer some general items:
18 anything inheriting php-ext*eclass is correct with DEPEND of dev-php/php but
19 and RDEPEND of virtual/php.
