RDPEND means it's a run-time dependency. So yes, you can remove ed after compiling fontconfig. spider@gentoo.org 2004-02-24 14:49:57 0000 well, Theres no RDEPEND listed in fontconfig, so DEPEND="RDEPEND" in this case. seemant@gentoo.org 2004-02-24 15:07:38 0000 spider's right seemant@gentoo.org 2004-02-24 15:08:17 0000 and I guess the other point of unclarity, which both spyderous and the bug reporter raised, is: why is ed even a DEPEND for fontconfig? spider@gentoo.org 2004-02-24 15:24:21 0000 well, I'd guess that its a Makefile that uses it. Consider also the sed dependencies (Version specific due to how sed is called) to be moved to DEPEND != RDEPEND here. thoriin@yahoo.fr 2004-02-25 11:37:28 0000 unmerging ed, unmerging fontconfig, removing the ed dependency in fontconfig ebuild and re-emerging fontconfig just works fine... Mozilla and XFree seems to run unaffected. foser@gentoo.org 2004-06-02 05:44:12 0000 i think it was some relic from earlier ebuilds & removed it from 2.2.2
