gtk-cpuspeedy-0.3.0.ebuild

i was wondering why have you added so many dependencies, such as gcc or xfree.

[Comment 2 Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2004-04-22 02:07:31 UTC]

cause they are runtime dependancies. looking at ldd on the executables you will see that files from these packages are used. Depandancies are one thing I'm analy retentive about. Working on embedded systems when you try to eliminate all unnecessary packages it helps keep track of what realy is being used.

commited to cvs with dependancies. FYI to get runtime dependancies I use

ldd /usr/bin/gtk-cpuspeedy | cut -f3 -d ' ' | xargs -n1 qpkg -f -nc | sort | uniq

To get the DEPENDS I just watch the configure.

but that's wrong. you don't take into consideration virtual packages. gtk-cpuspeedy should depend for example on virtual/x11, not on xfree.

quite right. I normally catch that one too. Thanks again
