Well, I'd say that *technically*, you *can* refrain from adding it to DEPEND, |
| 10 |
but it's still best to include it. But technically, Achim is correct. You |
| 11 |
should only need to include flex or gcc in DEPEND if you need to ensure that |
| 12 |
you are using a recent version of flex or gcc for building (which may be needed |
| 13 |
if, for example, a particular ebuild simply won't compile with a previous |
| 14 |
version of flex or gcc.) Besides that, don't worry about adding standard |
| 15 |
development stuff to DEPEND. |
