Bug 45343 – QA assigning DEPEND="${RDEPEND}" is a silly circumvention of explictly forbidden rule. Self assignment of RDEPEND also not amusing

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

grep -r '^DEPEND="${RDEPEND}"' /usr/portage/ --include "*ebuild"

reveils this is common (refer attachement)

To me QA seems to be about bugzilla spam & fixing non-issues (or already fixed) in ancient ebuilds (gnome-extra geez..) atm. Like we haven't got anything better to do than to remove a DEP=RDEP line in an ebuild from the time portage was still 300 lines of readible python code.

If you want to fix QA issues, i got some ideas for where you can really start doing something useful.
