No, we don't -- and I agree, it would. I'll look into it. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
In general, I would recommend for any library maintainers, to either |
| 23 |
file bugs against the rdeps of a package or directly update the rdeps |
| 24 |
(with permission, of course) when implementing sub-slots. Of course, |
| 25 |
I believe the rdeps of a library can add slot operators to their |
| 26 |
*DEPEND atoms even if the library doesn't have a sub-slot (yet); this |
| 27 |
would be useful anyways, as a new sub-slot in the lib will |
| 28 |
automatically trigger appropriate rebuilding. The only issue here is |
| 29 |
a maintainer would need to know how sensitive their package is to |
| 30 |
changes in the library it deoends on (ie whether it actually needs to |
| 31 |
use a := slot operator or not). |
