This would be the case depend-cleanup.sh couldn't catch up with the changes in-tree. My understanding is that this script cannot "always automatically" find where to cleanup without human editing. And if the corresponding changes in-tree is heavily conditional and complexed that take time to fixup depend-cleanup.sh for it, but the change in-tree itself is somehow urgent (i.e., security fix), there can be time window of breakage. At least in such a cases (offending commit itself doesn't include fixes for depend-cleanup.sh), UPDATING entry would be wanted. Regards. -- Tomoaki AOKI <[email protected]>
