No I am not trying to figure out why that dependency were added. I
think the gentoo developers have good reasons to do that in that way.
After a sync (see below what and how) when I try to re-merge a package
(same version) and emerge tell me that there is a dependency not
satified I would like to know where this dependency come from. Because
this is a "new" dependency, added after the sync by
- a mistake I do (wrong /etc/portage/package.mask)
- a minor revison (new CVS version) of a ebuild not so minor
- a modification of a eclass
And my question is "how to know is this new dependency comme from
eclass, or more generaly what are the dependencies that come from
eclass ?"

I intend to be able to maintain for a "long time" a set of package
(ebuild and files) I use on my servers. I want to be able to recompile
them as I need even if gentoo developers remove them from the official
portage tree.

In fact I have added "--backup --backup-dir='/usr/local/portage'" to
the rsync options. Then after a sync I have in /usr/local/portage all
the files that changed. So I clean up this tree (remove eclass
directory, redundant package ebuild,...).
