sure, I just though that OBS could have some extended syntax .. and I haven't found any way to set soft dependencies in a control file. any thoughts on how to handle this issue ? -- Mathieu OUDART ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carsten Hoeger" To: opensuse-buildservice@opensuse.org Sent: Friday, June 20, 2008 12:22:05 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: [opensuse-buildservice] conditional tags in debian control file On Thu, Jun 19, Mathieu OUDART wrote:

I'm falling into an issue building my software for debian flavored platforms. One dependency (libmono-i18n2.0-cil) appeared with Ubuntu 8.04. Previously these libs were included in the libmono-corlib2.0-cil package. So I would need to do something like :

%if 0%{?ubuntu_version} < 8 Depends: libmono-corlib2.0-cil %else Depends: libmono-corlib2.0-cil, libmono-i18n2.0-cil %endif

I use that kind of tags in my RPM spec file but would that also work for Debian control files ? Thanks
