I'm glad to see you're volunteering to join in with Ned in going through every single ebuild in the tree and fixing them up to list nth level dependencies. It's going to be really fun watching you update several hundred packages every time a library's compile dependencies change between versions. See, if libfoo-1.0's headers don't need (say) boost, but libfoo-1.1's headers do, with what you're proposing you'd have to go through and update the dependencies of every single package using libfoo. --=20 Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail : ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm --Signature_Tue__25_Oct_2005_17_39_56_+0100_Cy_/t4vhlz+GEoYN Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDXl/e96zL6DUtXhERAqwkAKC4JGCGzU/ZZK3ZpnE9337v3LfMMQCfbDnN dEeCkc4FB8cqPQxyx18fJSs= =izHe -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Signature_Tue__25_Oct_2005_17_39_56_+0100_Cy_/t4vhlz+GEoYN-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
