Mat,
You may want to use VisibleDepend instead of Depend. Depend hides the
.pkg info in BlueLinQ until the dependency is met, where VisibleDepend
doesn't.
The syntax is:
VisibleDepend: <Vendor>:<Name> <compare> <Version>
compare is a combination of =, > and <. The version is a real number.
The perl regular expression used to parse this is found in SWUpdate.pm:
if (/^Depend:\s*(\S+):(\S+)\s*(?:([!>=<]*)\s*(\S+))*/i) {
and:
if (/^VisibleDepend:\s*(\S+):(\S+)\s*(?:([!>=<]*)\s*(\S+))*/i) {
An example, (from Qube 3 OS Update 2's packing_list):
Vendor: Cobalt
Name: OS
Version: 6.2
VisibleDepend: Cobalt:OS = 6.1
