Dependencies of xxx-dev.tczs
« on: October 02, 2010, 02:28:14 PM »
Hello!

Shouldn't the development package always have a dependency on the corresponding "base/normal" package? If this is the case, these dev's are missing this dependency, since they don't have any:

Xorg-7.5-dev.tcz should have a dependency on Xorg-7.5-lib.tcz instead of Xorg-7.5.tcz.

I disagree with this, having Xorg-7.5-dev load -lib would complicate builds that don't want deps beyond the base.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Xorg-7.5-dev.tcz provides the development part of about 15 libs that are provided with Xorg-7.5-lib.tcz, so my assumption was that the -dev can't be very useful without -lib. And since -lib has no further dependencies, I can't see a downside, since sizes are: Xorg-7.5-dev.tcz = 1.8MB, Xorg-7.5-dev.tcz + Xorg-7.5-lib.tcz = 2MB. It just prevents that some X libs will not be compiled in statically "by accident".
