-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Friends,
Michał has documented the shortcomings of dynamic deps in our wiki[0]. (Thank you!) This documentation also includes two of our possible solutions. 1. Improve dynamic-deps. This is, as Michał pointed out earlier in this thread a pipe dream. 2. Remove dynamic-deps. This is what I think currently makes sense. 3. This is undocumented in the Wiki, but it is certainly an option: do nothing. It is of course the worst option; but it is perhaps the most probably course of action as well... dynamic-deps do not work, and nobody is stepping up to fix them. PMS defines a static dependency model, and this is what other package managers use as far as I know. Julian, would you like to share your experiences with Paludis? My guess is that Paludis is more predictable in this respect. I.e., instead of breaking stuff, I expect Paludis to simply give up. Sebastian, I CC'd you because I would love to hear your opinion on this. Trofi, please share your opinion too! To sum up: My vote is disable dynamic-deps. And I would be happy to apply a patch that does this with the information I have today.
