in short: gentoo-syntax is reflecting what is in $PORTDIR/skel.ebuild and changes to to skel.ebuild go to gentoo-dev mailing list for discussion. this topic been discussed before and the general consensus has been this is unnecessary bikeshedding. to clarify: however if you want, you can (re)open the topic again at the gentoo-dev mailing list, nothing is stopping you from doing that. if you get a general consensus, feel free to open this bug too. |
Created attachment 309151 [details, diff] newebuild.vim.patch usually ebuilds created with the skeleton from /usr/share/vim/vimfiles/plugin/newebuild.vim (20120109) use a default dependency syntax like DEPEND="" RDEPEND="${DEPEND}" This results in things like pkgconfig, intltool or gettext to be non-removable by depclean if I just go with this default. In my opinion this setup is very rare and actually breaks the use of DEPEND. I would rather suggest the following default syntax: RDEPEND="" DEPEND="${RDEPEND}" This way I ensure RDEPENDs to be merged before the package (which is not always needed, but a sane default; portage currently does that anyway, but may not in the future). However, everything explicitly specified in DEPEND will now _only_ be build-time and removable by depclean.
