Is there a way to get the dependency engine to accept a specific version of another package but wildcard the revision field when searching?
Hi Hanspeter,
For my Galeon package I have to depend on a specific major version of Mozilla, eg: 1.7.*-* . The way I do this is:
Depends: mozilla (>= 1.7-1), mozilla (<< 1.8-1)
There are certain cases where this wouldn't work I guess, for example if Mozilla decided that instead of 1.8a1 they'd call it 1.7.99. But usually it works, and you can do the same sort of thing for your package.
