From sawfish-1.3.ebuild: DEPEND=">=dev-util/pkgconfig-0.12.0 >=x11-libs/rep-gtk-0.17 =dev-libs/librep-0.16* >=media-libs/imlib-1.9.10-r1 media-libs/audiofile >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.8 esd? ( >=media-sound/esound-0.2.22 ) readline? ( >=sys-libs/readline-4.1 ) nls? ( sys-devel/gettext )" I haven't really played with ebuild files very much, but I noticed a problem when qpkg -q wasn't picking up sawfish dependencies. I.e. qpkg -I -q rep-gtk would show nothing. From the ebuild documentation, it appears as though DEPENDS are build dependencies, and RDEPEND are run-time dependencies. Shouldn't (most of?) these be RDEPENDs? I have noticed this elsewhere as well, but I'll wait and see if I'm actually on the right page with this. Let me know. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sawfish (and others) 2. check out their RDEPEND file -- nothing. 3. this breaks qpkg (and possibly other tools) Actual Results: RDEPEND empty even though there are runtime dependencies Expected Results: RDEPEND lists runtime dependencies Again, I have noticed this in other ebuilds as well. I would assume that RDEPEND is a newer-type var and possibly many packages weren't upgraded to use it?
RDEPEND This should contain a list of all packages that are required for this program to run (aka runtime depend). If this is not set, then it defaults to the value of DEPEND. You may use the same syntax to vary dependencies as seen above in DEPEND.
Hmm.. shouldn't this list the DEPENDs then? lerchc@skylab:/var/db/pkg/x11-wm/sawfish-1.2$ cat RDEPEND !bootstrap? ( sys-devel/patch ) !bootstrap? ( sys-devel/patch ) !bootstrap? ( sys-devel/patch ) !bootstrap? ( sys-devel/patch ) lerchc@skylab:/var/db/pkg/x11-wm/sawfish-1.2$ What am I seeing here?
