-<body>
-
-<p>
-Use <c>DEPEND</c> to define the dependencies required for building a
-particular package, and set <c>RDEPEND</c> to the dependencies required to
-<e>run</e> a particular package. RDEPEND should be set explicitly, even if RDEPEND=${DEPEND}.
-</p>
-
-<pre caption="Example of RDEPEND">
-RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
-	net-ftp/curl"
-</pre>
-
-<p>
-It's also important to note that only
-<c>RDEPEND</c> dependencies are satisfied when one installs a binary
-<c>.tbz2</c> package; use this information to help you choose the correct
-<c>RDEPEND</c> dependencies.
-</p>
-
-<p> 
-A package should depend upon the oldest version that satisfies the
-dependency. If it works with <c>libfoo-1.2.x</c>, don't depend on
-<c>libfoo-2.x</c> just because that's what you have installed.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-In general, packages should depend on <c>=libfoo-1.2*</c> instead of
-<c>&gt;=libfoo-1.2</c>. Otherwise, things may start breaking horribly when
-<c>libfoo-2.0</c> is introduced.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Depending on a virtual package entry like <c>virtual/foo</c> will only work
-when the different packages providing <c>virtual/foo</c> have identical
-interfaces.  Consider <c>virtual/jdk-1.3</c> for example. Some packages don't
-work with <c>ibm-jdk-1.3</c> while they do work with <c>sun-jdk-1.3</c>. For
-this reason, be sure that your package is tested against all virtual providers
-before unmasking.  It may be possible to only depend on a subset of those
-packages in the virtual rather than the virtual itself.
