Subject:   Proposal for another category in INDEX: common_deps
Message-ID:  <46A05B21.90603@u.washington.edu>

Hello porters,
    Currently in the INDEX files there are 13 categories describing 
dependencies, 2 of which are:

    8. build_deps
    9. run_deps

    I just ran a quick analysis with a Perl script and found that there 
are a number of similarities in the build_deps and run_deps fields in 
the INDEX files -- so many that I think that items common to both 
build_deps and run_deps should be isolated and put into a new category 
called 'common_deps':
    I've posted my results to 
<http://students.washington.edu/youshi10/posted/INDEX-analysis-part2.log>, 
and I've posted my script at: 
<http://soc2007-freebsd-project-hosting.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/field_analyzer.pl>.
    Questions and comments are more than welcome.
Thanks,
-Garrett
