Never got the hang of Wiki's, but if you want to isntall one, why not. Well I do not use them either, but I thought they would be suited. But then again.. who cares Luckily in many cases one can use a "BuildDepends" instead of a "BuildConflict". But adding this ensures our system is full

If I am creating a package and the program adds features if compiled with library N, should I automatically make it a build dependency? Or should I leave it for the user to decide how it should be compiled? For example, if my software can read png, jpeg, and tiff if compiled with their libs, sh

In some packages, you can use a flag to the "configure" step to disable linking certain libraries. If that is possible, and you want to do it, then you don't need to make the library a dependency. However, if the library will be used whenever it is found and there is no way to disable that, then
