Bug 516428 – Repoman check: nothing outside virtual should depend on anything within perl-core

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Andreas K. Hüttel 2014-07-05 11:03:00 UTC]

Hi, 

here's a request for a (nonfatal for now) repoman check that might be useful.

nothing outside virtual and perl-core should depend on anything within perl-core directly. if it does, that should throw a warning. 

"outside" ebuilds should depend on virtual/perl-*

if a package perl-core/* has no virtual, it should be moved to dev-perl/*

Opinions?

Best, Andreas

+1 from me. This is make sense for track our internal QA issues.

This must be even stricter: 

nothing outside virtual should depend on anything within perl-core directly. if it does, that should throw a warning.
