You are apparently bored, right? Please, stop bugging us with non-issues. :S From time to time there has been build-only dependencies, and this format stuck for that ebuild, I'm not going to change it right now, it works for me. |
amarok ebuilds define dependencies like this: RDEPEND="some_dependencies" DEPEND="${RDEPEND}" RDEPEND="${RDEPEND} more_dependencies" It seems equivalent to: DEPEND="some_dependencies" RDEPEND="${DEPEND} more_dependencies" which is cleaner and easier to understand. If I'm not missing something that would make the first option better, could someone please change this?
