Subject: [gentoo-dev] DEPENDing on system components
Date: Mon Jul 23 12:25:02 2001 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <01072321254601.00599@localhost> (raw)
Hi all,
Can someone enlighten me: why DEPEND/RDEPEND on packages which are *always*
present on the system, and are even pre-built in build snapshots? For example
some ebuilds explicitly depend on virtual/glibc, what's the point in that?
Many ebuilds use things like flex bison etc. to compile. When creating
non-critical, non-system ebuilds which certainly won't be built before glibc
or the kernel - should I keep track of these things?
