Hi everyone,
The attached patch for bug #132355 [1] adds a --mindeps option for emerge that
effectively allows build time dependencies to be excluded from dependency
calculations involving binary and installed packages. With this patch, it's
possible to remove all build time dependencies from a system with the command
`emerge --depclean --mindeps`. When --mindeps is used to install packages, it
causes build time dependencies to be excluded for binary packages and packages
that are already installed. This patch will change the previous default
behavior for `emerge --usepkg <package list>`, but if desired, the user will be
able use --mindeps together with --usepkg. Are there any suggestions to
improve on this idea or is it fine the way that it is?
Zac
