Hello, thanks for all the suggestions. on Mittwoch, 5. Dezember 2007, Adrian Schröter wrote: [...]
I would go with Recommends: in this case. Installing with YaST/zypper would install them, but you can deinstall the packages without breaking dependencies.
That's what I'll do. (and Requires: php_any_db for suse_version > 1030 - thanks Cristian for adding this.) However there's the problem left that Recommends: is not supported by other distributions (according to some failed build logs ;-) I'm afraid those will get packages without proper dependencies, to avoid that unused packages have to be installed. @darix: Yes, technically subpackages are the best solution. But creating them just to have "or" dependencies is not worth it IMHO. Is there a feature request open to allow "Requires: foo OR bar"?
