Hello, |
2 |
|
3 |
There is any provision for binary dependency on Gentoo/Portage? The |
4 |
way it works now is quite messy with things like revdep-rebuild. |
5 |
|
6 |
I have an idea to "solve" this problem: after software is build, you |
7 |
check which files it links (ldd binaries libraries) and check the used |
8 |
against installed packages. If a library is not provided by an |
9 |
installed package we could have a policy to inform user or just abort |
10 |
installation. |
11 |
|
12 |
Also, if we implement these dependencies in rpm-generator, we could |
13 |
just generate RPM packages and install it in the RPM-DB and let it |
14 |
handle these kind of things. |
15 |
|
16 |
With these in place emerge would handle the build stage (where it |
17 |
excels), but rpm would handle the binary installation and dependencies |
18 |
(where it excels). |
