docs in /proj/ are the responsibility of those projects. you'll have to ask a devrel member that knows the motivation for that text removal. The lugons.org link is dead. Looking at the history in CVS I can't see when tips about finding correct dependencies was ever present in that document (although I may have done poor research) However, this section in handbook is not updated and needs to be moved to devmanual. So lets fix devmanual instead Reassigning... I found an entry in flameeyes blog that maybe would be interesting: https://blog.flameeyes.eu/2009/02/rdepend-safety But couldn't find the old entry in old handbook :( (In reply to Pacho Ramos from comment #3) > I found an entry in flameeyes blog that maybe would be interesting: > https://blog.flameeyes.eu/2009/02/rdepend-safety > > But couldn't find the old entry in old handbook :( Yep me neither. Lets treat this bug as a "feature request" for devmanual.

Lets treat this bug as a "feature request" for devmanual. The old devrel handbook has a section for this: https://github.com/gktrk/devrel-handbook/blob/35345715b7c2533a130068f50a5488db4e21b490/hb-guide-ebuild.xml#L1847 Should we consider including it in devmanual? Yes please, include it if possible :) Thanks a lot (In reply to Göktürk Yüksek from comment #5) > The old devrel handbook has a section for this: > https://github.com/gktrk/devrel-handbook/blob/ > 35345715b7c2533a130068f50a5488db4e21b490/hb-guide-ebuild.xml#L1847 > > Should we consider including it in devmanual? Ping. Any progress here?

Any progress here? Let me CC recruiters here as it pertains to the quiz as well. The text I linked to in devrel-handbook still reads somewhat relevant but it's not complete. I think it will never be complete given the diversity of languages and build systems we support. A newcomer reading a small chapter about checking for correct ebuild dependencies is unlikely to get the full picture. I suggest that we do not try to document something that will always be incomplete and change the quiz question's "docs" hint to the mentor of the candidate. Alternatively, I'd be ok with a more general list of methods, rather than ELF and autotools centric information, to be listed in the devmanual and still ask the candidate to contact the mentor in addition to devmanual. That still leaves recruiters with the ability to ask more detailed questions about each generic step that would be mentioned in devmanual.
