[zypp-devel] Honoured dependency types
Hi: Are all of the Dependency types listed here: http://en.opensuse.org/Software_Management/Dependencies Honoured by zypp ? especifically the "weak, conditional and reverse dependencies" ? if so, what are the rules of the game? f.e Reccommends is triggered on patches too, which is a quite unexpected behaviuor, a "patch" in my understanding corrects an already installed package and only pull new ones when they are stricly "Required".. ;-) Cheers... -- "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." - Albert Einstein Cristian Rodríguez R.

That's up to the creator of the patch. Why should libzypp restrict him? Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org

Yes. If not, it would count as a bug ;-)

Well, the basic rule is 'equal semantics for all resolvables'. So yes, recommends do trigger for patches also. That said, I do agree with your conclusion, a patch should not recommend anything. Instead, a second, optional patch should exists to pull in a new, recommended package.

EssentialFor is AFAIK not implemented (and will never be). M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
