These sound like runtime-only deps. As of right now, there is a policy-level ban on using USE flags to specify runtime-only deps in packages. I'm assigning it to the maintainers of fail2ban, but likely this bug will be closed RESO/INVA for the reason above. I see, thank you. Basically, I was thinking about in terms of, for example, the vim-syntax use flag, which seems very similar to this. The ebuild tells you what to do to get things working the way you want. So that might mean setting USE=sqlite on dev-lang/python. You want the ebuild not to say that but instead set USE=sqlite on net-analyzer/fail2ban, and then re-emerge two packages instead of one. How is that progress? |
