Bringing it back to the issue it's solving: Afaict, for migration: - - DEPEND changes to HDEPEND - - the new DEPEND now will be used for things that are *currently* in RDEPEND and DEPEND (so that things will work) but are not actually run-time dependencies. Said atoms will then be removed from RDEPEND (and not be included in the new HDEPEND either) as they aren't really supposed to be there in the first place. Right? (Note, I have no idea how this will play with PDEPEND but maybe some of the current circular dependencies will also disappear?) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlBKVFUACgkQ2ugaI38ACPCcbwEAr2/+lQ70jPJ0AWp+hGQUo6YG dFxOJPOoRpBnVlipvnoBAJgQmfB5fqK6lNQB5iJghQYhqRk5KCN4SZe7/lltRviA =xDo8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
