And no one agrees on what can be omitted from (R)DEPEND, so all of our |
| 10 |
ebuilds are missing different subsets of @system. Another benefit would |
| 11 |
be that, if every dependency is specified, it becomes possible to |
| 12 |
sandbox the build based on DEPEND. Doing so would guarantee that the |
| 13 |
build-time dependencies at least are correct (well, sufficient). |

The sooner we make "specify all dependencies" the recommendation, the |
| 16 |
better. |
