The pkgdepend man page describes what you need to do in detail. At a
high level, you'll tag the action(s) which produce the dependency on
system/library/[email protected],5.11-0.175.1.0.0.11 (in your case,
at minimum the file action that delivers installadm since it imports
bootmgmt) so you'd do something like 'pkg.depend.bypass-generate=bootmgmt'.
That's the correct thing to do here. Be sure to add a comment saying why
you're bypassing dependency generation on this file, and add a comment
warning developers to check that the manual dependency always exists,
and is kept up to date lest the file you're actually depending on within
that package gets refactored into another package without the manual
dependency being updated.
3: I tried this (by adding the property pkg.linted=true to the depend
line above. It built and linted correctly however it resulted in 2
dependencies listed against boot-management
system/library/[email protected],5.11-0.175.1.0.0.11.0
system/library/[email protected],5.11-0.175.1.0.0.13
Will this double dependency be a problem?
I am not aware of any problems this causes, but you aren't in a well
tested space at this point I think. Perhaps someone else will feel
confident to state that it is not (or is) a problem.
I'm not sure what happens here either. I would also say that
"pkg.linted=true" is too big a hammer, since that will disable all
linting for that particular action. Better would be:
pkg.linted.pkglint.action005.1=true
which would cause just this lint error to be ignored. Adding the bypass
is almost certainly the right thing to do, rather than using pkg.linted
tags. The syntax for bypass tags is documented in pkgdepend(1)
