Subject: [gentoo-dev] Dependencies on sys-apps/portage
Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 01:11:17 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061210011117.36672693@blashyrk> (raw)
There are a lot of packages in the tree which DEPEND on some version of
sys-apps/portage, mostly for historical reasons. Try to avoid doing
this in your packages where possible -- if it's a genuine dependency
then obviously it should be there, but if the dep is only in the ebuild
to avoid hitting a bug that was in portage-2.0.49-r3 (for example),
it's unnecessary now. I'm going to be removing some of these redundant
deps.
On which note, the current base profile specifies portage-2.0.51.22 or
later -- can anyone see a reason not to require 2.1? There are a lot of
packages that dep on portage-2.1 for the "wrong" reasons above, which
I'd like to be able to clean up.
