Description Fabio Erculiani (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-12-28 08:31:22 UTC
The dependencies below are not really RDEPENDS of atom in summary and should be moved to DEPEND instead:

Here is a list of dependencies to move to DEPEND for atom in summary:
- x11-proto/xproto
- x11-proto/renderproto

That would require the depending package to know the implementation details of the library, which might change across versions.

This issue should be fixed by PMS by adding a new DEPEND type containing build-deps only.
