Please invert the logic so that rather than changing default behavior you add a new option choose the types of deps to include. I was in favor and thought we were going to do it after 2.1 and the 2006 release under the idea of the variable ACCEPT_DEPENDS export ACCEPT_DEPENDS="DEPEND RDEPEND PDEPEND" emerge -K system Whatever we do in the end does not really matter as long as we don't change default expected behaviors. > > Zac > > [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132355 > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (GNU/Linux) > > iD8DBQFEtIlf/ejvha5XGaMRAo26AKCovCALx/VDIft6e+0lh+FI7IQsoQCg8o6M > UW+dnXPwMe/tIje1A4RYqRs= > =9uIv > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ned Ludd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Linux -- gentoo-portage-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
