But still above bug clearly states different. Also if we consider perl and some other packages, they also could became target to be removed... But I'm not going to repeat discussion we already had recently: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/54035 So yes, there is ambiguity and the question is valid. But since we had discussion recently I don't see what else we can discuss now. -- Peter.

In my quick 30 seconds of searching I found at least one bug on this very issue. You may find more if you look for them. ;) https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221311 Please provide reasons/justifications for the proposal of removing packages from the system set or from the ebuilds instead of just raising random questions (which end up with no results and hence just "noise"). -Jeremy
[gentoo-dev] System packages in (R)DEPEND?
I see packages like bison, flex, perl or sed in the system set. And i also see ebuilds depending on them. I also heard from Peter Volkov (pva) that there where discussions about removing different packages from the system set. So now my question is: Should we depend on all system packages? Should we depend on some packages, because they could be removed? If yes, which ones? Or should we leave the system packages out completly? -- Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
