Some questions about that. Looking at skel.ebuild I thought that |
| 8 |
RDEPEND did not need to be defined since it would default to DEPEND, |
| 9 |
yet lintool considers not defining it an error. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Is it considered better to allow things to default when the documented |
| 12 |
defaults are correct or to explicitly define everything, in which case |
| 13 |
I would have thought the skel.ebuild should tell you the normal values |
| 14 |
but not say they are defaults for when items are not specified. |
| 15 |
|

I've already submitted one ebuild and hope to submit more, so I want |
| 17 |
to get them as 'correct' as possible. |
