As I read in bug #697914 and bug #517658#c15 , relying on --with-test-deps as a way to deal with test related circular deps issue is a common way to go. Sadly I wasn't aware of that, and I think that many users won't know about that either. Portage currently suggests to disable USE flag for some packages when this circular dep issue is found, could it also suggest the use of --with-test-deps? Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot
In the same location we can in include a hint about disabling FEATURES=test, as suggested in bug 416871.

Otherwise I need to rebuild monsters as webkit-gtk two times :/ For example when updating I usually have FEATURES=-test but I keep USE enabled to allow me to enable FEATURES=test when I want to run tests (for example when testing a package I am going to commit) without needing to rebuild half of the system Thanks
