• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Maurizio Camisaschi (amd64 AT) 2012-01-17 23:03:26 UTC]

repoman reported:

games-mud/crystal/crystal-0.2.4.ebuild: RDEPEND is not explicitly assigned

please provide to add RDEPEND="${DEPEND}"

[Comment 1 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2012-01-17 23:17:44 UTC]

no, that's a bug in repoman.

@mr.bones.

_nope_ is not a bug in repoman.

A correct ebuild must be declare RDEPEND variable, so, when you no need packages at runtime on $foo package, ok, is a warning that can be fixed with: RDEPEND=""

But in this case this package have rdepend:


amd64box ~ # qlist -e games-mud/crystal | xargs scanelf -L -n -q -F '%n #F' | tr , ' ' | xargs qfile -Cv | sort -u | awk '{print $1}' | uniq

dev-libs/openssl-1.0.0f-r1
sys-devel/gcc-4.5.3-r1
sys-libs/glibc-2.13-r4
sys-libs/ncurses-5.9
sys-libs/zlib-1.2.5-r2

So, please set RDEPEND, excluding gcc and glibc
Thanks in advance.

Excerpt from 
http://devmanual.gentoo.org/general-concepts/dependencies/index.html


In EAPI=3 or older, if this variable is not specified it defaults to the value of DEPEND


So now it is not a bug. It is just a repoman warning
