Why not adapt the updates mechanism for modifying rdepends? Perhaps |
| 7 |
something like |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
rdepends-add foo-bar/blah-3.14 "wombat? ( >=dev-libs/wombat-1.0 )" |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This would give the package manager all the benefits of static dep |
| 12 |
resolution while allowing us to dynamically make simple changes (like |
| 13 |
adding a missing dependency to an ebuild) without forcing users to |
| 14 |
rebuild the package. |
