Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-05-11 12:41:45 UTC 
Your package is runtime-depending on sys-devel/flex standing to http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/misc/rindex/sys-devel/flex . Flex is a tool used almost always at build-time, as it generates the source code for a parser. This means that it should only be depended at build-time.

Please correct your ebuild or document why it is used as a runtime-dependency so that it will not be suspected again.

Thanks,
Diego

There is no ChangeLog entry for it and the -r5 that was actively worked on back then does not show anything like that in the CVS log. As the fix involved moving the sys-devel/flex line from the RDEPEND block to the DEPEND block, and as the same fix was not present in the later ebuilds, I can only conclude that the fix was never committed. But it is now.
