31 RESOLVED -> WONTFIX
32
33 Others and myself have spent considerable time making those deps the way
34 they are because :
35
36 1) upstream packaging is a bit uncommon
37 2) ebuild deps don't fit with upstream deps
38 3) a few embedded devs told me they wiped /usr/include when making images
39
40 So if you want to fix this properly, a new DEP variable needs to be
41 cooked up : "add the following deps to ebuilds' DEPEND when those ebuids
42 DEPEND on this ebuild".
43
44 Until such a variable exist, having the protos in both DEPEND and
45 RDEPEND is the only _valid_ solution.

47 Thanks
