Theoretically speaking -- and I am just throwing out a crazy idear out there -- but theoretically speaking, if pkg A is a build only dep for pkg B, then once pkg B is built and installed, pkg A can be uninstalled from the system. This would of course require all exheres to correctly list packages in build and build+run deps.
I was just thinking if I were to use Exherbo in an embedded system with very limited space, I could throw in uClibc or dietlibc, remove build only deps (gcc alone takes up 100+MB) and be done with it. Are there other things I am not thinking of? -Doc -- One man's "magic" is another man's engineering. "Supernatural" is a null word. (Robert A.
