Description:   Opened: 2008-05-11 12:44 0000 
Your package is runtime-depending on sys-devel/flex standing to
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/sys-devel/flex . Flex is a tool
used almost always at build-time, as it generates the source code for a parser.
This means that it should only be depended at build-time.

Please correct your ebuild or document why it is used as a runtime-dependency
so that it will not be suspected again.

Thanks,
Diego

Diego,

I always believed flex to be an implicit dependency since it's in the base
profile... Was I wrong ? You filed other bugs like this one but I'm only
commenting here to avoid bugspaming you.

See bug #221311, the idea is to get flex out of the system package set, to
better track what is really using it (in case of new releases, vulnerabilities
and similar).

I didn't see it there was tracker for this thing, sorry about that. I'll fix it
ASAP.

Denis.

This should be fixed now, with an explicit RDEPEND="".

Denis.
