Looking at skel.ebuild I thought that RDEPEND did not need to be defined since it would default to DEPEND, yet lintool considers not defining it an error. Is it considered better to allow things to default when the documented defaults are correct or to explicitly define everything, in which case I would have thought the skel.ebuild should tell you the normal values but not say they are defaults for when items are not specified. I've already submitted one ebuild and hope to submit more, so I want to get them as 'correct' as possible. -- Mark Gordon
