Please do not put words in my mouth. I've already asserted to you |
| 17 |
several times that the definition of RDEPEND= is unclear and that we do |
| 18 |
infact need a new set of depend atoms. R=(runtime) not Buildtime for the |
| 19 |
NNth time. Till then please focus your efforts on something useful that |
| 20 |
does not break other peoples systems or projects. |
