Ah, that's nice and simple. I see it's also possible to define the normal depends=() with dependencies that are both runtime and buildtime dependencies, and then extend that depends array inside the package() function by adding runtime-only dependencies there. Seems like `mksrcinfo` handles this fine too. Nice. -- Hugo Osvaldo Barrera
