Why no making it mandatory to add them to DEPEND, instead increasing complexity? The wonderland of features and use flags is getting big. kdemultimedia-3.3.0, kdenetwork-3.3.0 and swig-1.3.21 failed during test phase if FEATURES="maketest" is activated. This seems rather old, but it would be very usefull... at least to me. The app-text/tetex ebuild requires a running X (and hence X installed) to complete make check (maketest). But it seems to be too much overhead to add X to DEPEND for tetex (many users won't like that X is pulled in just because of maketest). *** Bug 122382 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** TESTDEPEND on its own doesn't cut it. SRC_URI additions are sometimes required as well. FEATURES=test now implies USE=test in r5551. This has been released in 2.1.2_rc4-r9. |
