And realistically that's where the DEPEND should be anyways, IMO -- appended by the eclass where the function is that uses it. If this means prune_libtool_files() gets separated out of eutils and put in its own eclass (so that all the eutils inheritors don't suddenly need virtual/pkgconfig unnecessarily), then so be it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iF4EAREIAAYFAlBA0rMACgkQ2ugaI38ACPB8dgD8CsXPJvPDjI3111dXT/z+gGUM q8wTmMYqR2zVJasZMJQA/25de5bSofnwk4fXlCwPEFJ3Tu9rtCFRAx+q95oGFkad =GWHe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
