Hello, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
There is any provision for binary dependency on Gentoo/Portage? The |
| 4 |
way it works now is quite messy with things like revdep-rebuild. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I have an idea to "solve" this problem: after software is build, you |
| 7 |
check which files it links (ldd binaries libraries) and check the used |
| 8 |
against installed packages. If a library is not provided by an |
| 9 |
installed package we could have a policy to inform user or just abort |
| 10 |
installation. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Also, if we implement these dependencies in rpm-generator, we could |
| 13 |
just generate RPM packages and install it in the RPM-DB and let it |
| 14 |
handle these kind of things. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
With these in place emerge would handle the build stage (where it |
| 17 |
excels), but rpm would handle the binary installation and dependencies |
| 18 |
(where it excels). |
