Lets say a package foo depends on bar, both at compile time and run time. |
| 2 |
Shouldn't DEPEND _and_ RDEPEND of the foo package reflect that |
| 3 |
dependency? I usually set DEPEND="$RDEPEND ..." or vice-versa (depending |
| 4 |
on which is the most demanding). Am I utterly wrong here? |
| 5 |
I know that when a package is installed the usual way (not from a binary |
| 6 |
tarball) dependencies==RDEPEND+DEPEND, but portage functionality could |
| 7 |
change in the future. It may not be the wisest decision ever made, but |
| 8 |
portage could very well remove whatever dependencies are found in DEPEND |
| 9 |
- RDEPEND, once the package is installed. |
