Ah, with the bl3 system, there are no indirect dependencies. Does the
wrapper/buildlink system prevent linking to libfoo (buidlinked) when it
dynamically depends on libbar (not linked)?

It sounds to me like we'd need something akin to pkgsrc --libs without
--static here (Libs.private logic). And you'd need to know for each
package if it only links dynamically and hence indirect linking will
work.

With bl3 as-is, I see that you need to revbump all to be safe. Thanks
for pointing that out.


Alrighty then,

Thomas
