New comment by ericonr on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/18712#issuecomment-720175574 Comment: I think either of those would still make bootstrapping pretty complicated. What we'd need is some way of saying that a certain dependency isn't necessary when the package is a makedeps, but when it's installed normally it should be there. This gets hairy pretty quick, unfortunately.
