I also like at least significant parts of the DEPENDENCIES concept, especially when we start adding more dep variables like HDEPEND. My understanding is that COMMON_DEPEND can be easily and uniformly expressed as build+run. Do we have some list of pros and cons, so that the discussion can be more focused? > a possibility to get people used to it > could be to have two parallel EAPIs, like 6 and 6-dependencies, where > the former will keep the old style and the latter use DEPENDENCIES. How about just allowing older style DEPEND/RDEPEND, but not both DEPEND/RDEPEND and DEPENDENCIES in the same ebuild? Note that this may interact with eclasses (which is also true for above idea I think).
