With existing EAPIs, it's possible to use DEPEND for host buildtime-only |
| 11 |
deps, RDEPEND for target build+run deps, and PDEPEND for target |
| 12 |
runtime-only deps. However, there's no way to to specify buildtime-only |
| 13 |
target deps (that aren't needed at runtime). The HDEPEND proposal |
| 14 |
involves solves this by using HDEPEND for host buildtime-only deps, and |
| 15 |
DEPEND for target buildtime-only deps. |
