in case where different libs are needed in the stack but in ways that |
10 |
makes it do circular deps if you use an unsplitted package (think |
11 |
gvfs, libsoup, libproxy libsoup, and stuff like that). |

I think it's generally a good idea to split when the following |
14 |
conditions are met: |
15 |
* maintainer/herd has enough time to maintain the split (some splits |
16 |
can be time consuming) |
17 |
* upstream behaves nicely in the split case (splitting stuff on our |
18 |
own is shooting ourselves in the feet usually as is upstream not |
19 |
wanting to hear about it) |
20 |
* split benefits the user has it allows more flexibility (don't tell |
21 |
me about configure times, we are gentoo and flexibility most often |
22 |
wins over buildtime or we'd be somewhere else imho) |
