I would like to add a virtual/network-manager package to @system which |
| 41 |
has the following rdepend settings: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
RDEPEND=" || ( |
| 44 |
net-misc/netifrc |
| 45 |
>=sys-apps/openrc-0.12[newnet] |
| 46 |
net-misc/badvpn |
| 47 |
net-misc/dhcpcd |
| 48 |
net-misc/netctl |
| 49 |
net-misc/NetworkManager |
| 50 |
net-misc/wicd )" |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Does anyone see an issue with setting it up this way? |
| 53 |
