- Currently optional for both DPKG and RPM - No version info will be provided by default
Maybe suggests -> optional is better? Recommends is similar to suggests |
@jiegec This is a set Package Manager function, not anything we can change here. |
Wait, does dpkg has suggests? I think this should be # dpkg
[ "$PKGSUG" || "$PKGRECOM" ] && dpkgfield Recommends $PKGSUG $PKGRECOM # rpm
$(rpmopttag Recommends $PKGRECOM)
# blah |
And @jiegec , It's still possible to call it a different name in autobuild. If it sounds better, we should use it. |
Yes it does. Refer to the packaging policy. |
But should we? |
