I have a question about 'required' vs 'prerequisite'. Both words mean the same thing. The difference in GAR is that there are build dependencies and runtime dependencies. Most of the runtime dependencies are build dependencies as well. Would it be hard to replace REQUIRED_PKGS with RUNTIME_DEPS (or something similar) and PREREQUISITE_PKGS with BUILD_DEPS? What if I prepared a giant change replacing this in the whole code repository? :-) Maciej _______________________________________________ maintainers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/maintainers
