Description Marc Ballarin 2004-06-06 16:43:02 UTC

While LILO requires dev-lang/nasm during build, it is not needed at runtime. Consequently, it should not be in RDEPEND.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Marc Ballarin 2004-06-06 16:46:38 UTC

The same is true for sys-devel/bin86. However, since that is part of profile it doesn't cause unecessary dependencies.

Noted. Properly sorting out DEPEND and RDEPEND for lilo-22.5.8-r4.
I have moved both nasm & bin86 out. sed is a dependency from dolilo and should stay in DEPEND.
Will be fixed the moment -r4 hits the tree.

DEPEND & RDEPEND are properly separated out in lilo 22.5.9, which is in CVS now and should appear in the tree soon. Skipping 22.5.8-r4 as 22.5.9 came out.
