This is the fix for:

16327 New dependency types desired

(Just looking at the docs, not the code)

The text added to the pkg(5) man page is a bit confusing around the
use of "value", it seems like it would be clearer if when describing
other attributes it said so, such as:

+ If the value is 'require-conditional', the dependency is required
+ only if the package defined by the predicate attribute is present
+ on the system.

+ If the value is 'require-origin', the dependency must, if present,
+ be at the specified value or better on the image to be modified
+ prior to installation. If the value of the 'root-image' attribute
+ is true, the dependency must be present on the image rooted at
+ '/' in order to install this package.

Suggested changes incorporated...


It would be nice to add similar text to the Dependencies and constraints
section of doc/guide-main.rst where the existing depend types are
described.


Thanks; I'd forgotten about this document.  Adding text...
