Hm. I see the distinction you're trying to make here. Is this in any |
10 |
way related to the setting of ROOT, or is it orthogonal? |
11 |
|
12 |
Are these supersets of each other or can they be disjoint? In other |
13 |
words, if I have a library package contains header files, which are |
14 |
build time dependencies, and shared libraries, which are both build and |
15 |
runtime dependencies, should I declare both DEPEND and RDEPEND? |
16 |
|
17 |
In the above example that package is a DEPEND... but it will be |
18 |
installed under ROOT, not under /. |

Maybe I'm conflating two unrelated features. |
