Description Dirk Heinrichs 2005-09-02 05:08:56 UTC

I wondered why "emerge bash-completion" merges gentoo-bashcomp _after_  
bash-completion and found that the bash-completion ebuild has a PDEPEND  
variable. I looked into the Gentoo Developer Handbook and 
/usr/portage/skel.ebuild, but couldn't find anything about it. 

Reproducible: Always

both documents you mention are HOWTO-type documents, they are not manuals

if you read the notes in the Developer Handbook, it tells you to read `man 5
ebuild` for an exhaustive list of everything you ever wanted to know about ebuilds
