So it's more about where you want the depend to be checked, than the "type" of it ?
Is that really how it is? If so, that's really nonintuitive. Is that really how we want base to behave?
Uh. I didn't even know they were checked at different phases! I thought depends_build is everything you need to build, but is not needed afterwards. So this should be checked before configure, build and destroot. I am also wondering why all dependencies are checked before the install phase. The Makefile or other build scripts of the software is only used up to destrooting. The install phase is all done by MacPorts, so there is no check needed anymore at this phase. Rainer
