Does namcap differentiate between depends and makedepends ?

In my mesa-r600-git AUR package i have the following dependency lines :

depends=('libxt' 'libxxf86vm' 'libxdamage' 'xorg-server' 'libxv' 'libffi')
makedepends=('pkgconfig' 'python2' 'talloc' 'libxml2' 'imake' 'git' 'glproto' 'dri2proto>=2.6' 'llvm>=3.0' 'xorg-server-devel' 'libxvmc' 'libvdpau')

When i run namcap on the pkg, it reports :
mesa-r600g-git W: Dependency libffi included but already satisfied

it is true that python2 and llvm both require libffi to be installed, but these are makedepends, while libffi needs to be present at runtime.

The man page for namcap doesn't make clear if namcap does make a difference between depends and makedepends, does somebody know if it DOES ?

libffi is in your dependency tree...

|--libxt
   |--libsm
      +--util-linux provides util-linux-ng
         |--udev
            |--glib2
               |--libffi

but there is nothing wrong with specifying it anyway. Hence it is just a warning.

Thanks, i hadn't seen that.

now it is atleast clear that namcap made the warning based on the depends .
