hi. i am putting together a PKGBUILD. there are certain dependencies required for cutting a release, rolling a version, etc. but, for just downloading the sources and building, these dependencies are not needed.
can i leave dependencies *out* of makedepends that are only used for non-mainline build/installation tasks?
Yes you can leave them out. In makedepends you only add additional dependencies that are used to build the project. The code of release tooling (and its dependencies) can be safely ignored. Cheers!
