DEPENDENCIES is essentially independent of what label names we |
| 7 |
introduce. I get the impression Gentoo will be bikeshedding, er, I mean |
| 8 |
selecting shorter names for some of the labels than what Exherbo is |
| 9 |
using. So HDEPEND could be 'host' if you like. |

In any case, the reason you don't see a 'host' label on Exherbo is |
| 12 |
because it's called 'build'. Exherbo's taken a more comprehensive |
| 13 |
approach to handling ROOT-related dependencies -- dependency resolution |
| 14 |
for ROOT!=/ still uses / for satisfying not-purely-runtimeish |
| 15 |
dependencies, and then has a way of locking versions on / to versions |
| 16 |
in ROOT. It does rely upon having a fully-ROOT-and-/-aware resolver, |
| 17 |
though, so it may not be suitable for Gentoo. |
