[LEDE-DEV] Clarification on recursive dependencies

[Daniel Curran-Dickinson]

Hi Felix,

I'd like clarification on

https://git.lede-project.org/?p=source.git;a=commitdiff;h=71753a8286dcb
4dedbb6d4792b0fd5dd305c3338	

for two reasons: with a patch picking a default SSL provider, the two
packages in commit emitted a recursive dependency error.

It made sense to me that it would be considered a recursive dependency
because the section ends up looking like:

config PACKAGE_libustream-openssl

	..
	depends on libopenssl if PACKAGE_libustream-openssl

which looks to me like a recursive dependency (certainly I've had
KConfig complain at me over that sort of construct, once you add in a
something a dependency or select on PACKAGE_libustream-openssl in some
other location.

I'm confused about how this is not a recursive dependency?

Regards,

Daniel
