However, looking at it, I'm assuming it's kind of like RPMs that provide perl(XML::API) or whatever. It's just a convention used for defining certain types of provides/requires. I expect that wherever that spec file was made, they had custom stuff in their find-depends scripts included in RPM to auto-generate init-script dependencies, or something else goofy like that. In a requires: line, that syntax doesn't mean anything, it's just another string. You could "Provides: shoe(size10)" probably and still have it work, and if a package Requires: shoe(size10) it will work. :) - -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a.
