That is, if I do this: inherit blah DEPEND="pkg1 pkg2" How does the inheritance of blah have an effect on the DEPEND="". Does it just overwrite it, does it append.. etc? Or is it "proper" to tack in a DEPEND="$DEPEND pkg1 pkg2"? What about RDEPEND automagically getting DEPEND values? Sorry if this is stupidly obvious, but it's not addressed in the docs and nobody has been able to answer the question thus far. Thanks, Caleb -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
