DEPENDENCIES is essentially independent of what label names we introduce. I get the impression Gentoo will be bikeshedding, er, I mean selecting shorter names for some of the labels than what Exherbo is using. So HDEPEND could be 'host' if you like. In any case, the reason you don't see a 'host' label on Exherbo is because it's called 'build'. Exherbo's taken a more comprehensive approach to handling ROOT-related dependencies -- dependency resolution for ROOT!=/ still uses / for satisfying not-purely-runtimeish dependencies, and then has a way of locking versions on / to versions in ROOT. It does rely upon having a fully-ROOT-and-/-aware resolver, though, so it may not be suitable for Gentoo. -- Ciaran McCreesh
