New comment by st3r4g on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/18712#issuecomment-720044085 Comment: Ah yes, this would reintroduce the build cycle. So maybe let's freeze the other PR until we arrive at a decision here. Anyway, I don't like this PR. The alternative to solve this problem would be to make xbps-src "less strict" with rundeps. I have thought to make it build all rundeps after the dependant instead of before, but that is probably a too drastic change from current behaviour. Or maybe introduce some way to tell it to skip building when it's safe to do so, but it could be misused... what do you think?
