So flac (in [current]) has a makedepend on xmms (now in [community]).
In this instance, this seems okay, since if xmms one day goes away, we remove that makedepend and the only bad effect is that there's no xmms plugin.. which is fine if there's no xmms!
But couldn't this be a problem in general? Do we have any rules about makedepends across repositories?
AFAIK we try to keep all makedepends in the same repo. But in case like this it is not possilbe. I think it is OK if makedepends is in another repo. Especially if it is just for some extra feature that can be enabled/disabled in runtime by installing required package. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
