[New: openFATE 313500] allow to combine modalias and packageand
Feature added by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Feature #313500, revision 1 Title: allow to combine modalias and packageand openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ludwig Nussel (lnussel) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Userspace drivers often do not make sense to have installed without the subsystem using them. E.g. - X drivers without X - sane backends without sane - cups filters without cups Therefore using modalias for such driver packages may either be useless or may cause undesired installation of other packages. Modaliases on X drivers for example would cause installation of X in the Minimal installation that is specifically intended to be without X. We therefore need a way to combine "packageand" and "modalias" supplements. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/313500
