Hi David,

SHORT TERM SOLUTION: Although we should not allow a -dev splitoff to Depend on another -dev splitoff, we can use the "Recommends" field to specify the other -dev splitoffs which are relevant. This will be useful for package maintainers, who will simply need to consult the "Recommends" field to find out which things they need to add to the "BuildDepends" line in their own packages.
I don't see the need for this to be in a Recommends field, would it not be better in a Desc* type field, or simply as a #comment in the .info file?
It's not a matter of need, but it does make sense to me. If I want to develop with kdelibs, I want to know that I need to have all those other -dev packages installed too.
When we implement Recommends/Suggests in the future, fink can auto-install them so you're ready to do your building.
