[...] I'm now wondering if I should add this requirement to hplip as "Requires" or "Recommends". I wouldn't normally classify it as a hard requirement, as it's only needed for special functionality provided only with special HP ScanJet models (e.g. "punchhole removal"). From that point of view, it's clearly a "recommends" or even a "suggests". [...] Another option would be to separate out these new scanning tools "hp- scan" and "hp-uiscan" into an extra package and add the requirements there.
For hardware specific packages there are special modalias Supplements. So if libzypp detects matching hardware it would automatically pull in those packages. There are also special tags for printer drivers¹ (in case there are such scanners attached to printers). Support for that was never properly implemented in openSUSE though AFAIK. cu Ludwig [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/AutomaticPrintDriverInstallation -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer HRB 247165 (AG München) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
