Basically, there are requests to add packages to RDEPEND in virtual/mda |
| 5 |
and virtual/mta that are not in the official tree but in sunrise. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
On one side, *DEPENDing on a package outside the tree doesn't seem |
| 8 |
right. Additionally, keeping track of all the overlays and their |
| 9 |
package versions, USE flags and flag changes are potentially too much to |
| 10 |
track. We will be making changes to a virtual package without testing |
| 11 |
whether it works. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
On the other hand, we are making life (unneccesarily?) difficult for |
| 14 |
overlay users by not incorporating the requested changes to the official |
| 15 |
tree. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Comments on how to proceed? Is it OK for a virtual to list a package |
| 18 |
which is in an overlay in RDEPEND? |
