Hallo. I have a package libgda, which contains many database plugins. What to do with plugin packages, which provide a xxx support for libgda. Suppose I will do: Package: libgda-mysql Enhances: libgda Package: libgda-postgres Enhances: libgda This will probably cause, that beginner will click OK for all and package manager will install all available databases as hard-dependencies of all these plugins. But I want to suggest here: "Yes, libgda-mysql enhances libgda, but if you don't have mysql installed, you probably have no usage for it." Once in future, if user installs mysql package, libgda-mysql should be suggested. What I really need, is probably: Enhances: ( libgda + mysql ) One of suggestions says, do not offer or warn about enhancement packages with a lot of unresolved dependencies. But it is not a solution. For example I have also: Package: gstreamer-plugins-extra Enhances: gstreamer The package also has many unresolved dependencies, but I really want to suggest here: "Yes, install all these dependencies to have a cool gstreamer package." Is such feature possible or planned or what is the syntax? And additional ideas: Is it possible to use Enhances for virtuals or Suggests for symbols instead of package name? I want to say: "Yes gimp-help enhances both gimp and gimp-unstable." Package: gimp-help Enhances: gimp-2.0 Package: gimp Provides: gimp-2.0 Package: gimp-unstable Provides: gimp-2.0 Another use: Package: plugger Suggests: mp3_player (where mp3_player will be virtual provided by all MP3 players) Maybe it should be evident, why package Suggests/Enhances other package, to provide enough information to user. For example: Package: mc Suggests: (xv eog gv pdftotext)("To provide default viewers. You can define different viewers and ignore these suggestions.") Package: gnome-session Suggests: gnome2-user-docs("To provide enhanced user documentation.") -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s. r. o. e-mail: sbrabec@suse.cz Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 296 542 382 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 296 542 374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/
