<hat=QA> Just since you poked me on irc and I tend to yell at anyone who breaks to dep tree by making RDEPEND changes without revbump.... I agree with mgorny. I don't believe this change will cause any issues with the dep tree for people who aren't, or cannot, run dynamic deps. Please proceed to make your changes as desired, without revbump, and you may close your bugs. Thanks, Zero</hat> > > Wkr, > Sven Vermeulen > >
