In my opinion, it's safe to ignore deps on glibc and gcc at this time, I |
| 16 |
personally don't ignore any other deps. On of my long term goals is to |
| 17 |
remove as much as humanly possible from the system set and replace it |
| 18 |
with the packages.default concept. I can't say we are far enough to |
| 19 |
actually do this yet, but that's why it's a long term goal. |
