Re: Should implicit {RUN,BUILD,LIB}_DEPENDS be listed?

Please list what the port uses itself.

If b uses XYZ directly then list them, if they're only used through b using a then don't. 

This makes it easier to identify which ports need testing when a port is updated without having to look at unnecessary ports.

Given the following scenario:

Port A dependencies: X, Y, Z
Port B dependencies: A, X, Y, Z

Should port B explicitly list the X, Y and Z dependencies in
{RUN,BUILD,LIB}_DEPENDS, even if they are pulled by port A already?

Thanks.
