Unnecessary dependencies on games-emulation/libretro-info #123

Open candrews opened 6 years ago

candrews commented 6 years ago

Many (all?) of the cores express a dependency on libretro-info: https://github.com/stefan-gr/abendbrot/blob/master/games-emulation/2048-libretro/2048-libretro-9999-r2.ebuild

RDEPEND="${DEPEND}
        games-emulation/libretro-info"

however, the cores work fine without games-emulation/libretro-info being installed.

Is the RDEPEND on games-emulation/libretro-info necessary?

@leycec Do you have any thoughts on this? I want to make sure I get it right in the Gentoo tree :)

libretro-info is datafiles for RetroArch to understand what filetypes to register/associate with which cores. While it may be useful for the Kodi project, I'm not sure they're really required for the cores to build. This should definitely be a dependency of Retroarch itself.
