Subject: [gentoo-dev] cyclic dependency
Date: Mon, 2 Jul 2007 07:54:36 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <410602.86926.qm@web90513.mail.mud.yahoo.com> (raw)

Hi.

How can one avoid cyclic dependencies in custom
ebuilds?

eg.
soft1.ebuild DEPENDs on soft2
but 
soft2.ebuild also DEPENDs on soft1
(both packages are required; none of the two works
alone so it wouldn't make sense to install just one)

Is there a function that can be used to check whether
a certain package+version has already been emerged?
