The way I see it is that part of the problem with dependency resolution |
| 2 |
is that we're source based. Debian and the other binary based distros |
| 3 |
have an easier time because for them it (probably) boils down to compile |
| 4 |
once, and then split the binaries, libraries and headers into separate |
| 5 |
binary trees and do the dependency resolution on those. For example, |
| 6 |
you compile kdelibs, separate out kdelib and khtml and make the latter |
| 7 |
depend on the former, et voila. With Gentoo this process takes on a |
| 8 |
much much higher complexity. |
