[aur-general] Depends question
I'm working on a pkgbuild for a package that can use either tomcat6 or tomcat7. Is it possible to make the depends list use an or? -- Jonathan Arnold Webstream: http://hieronymus.soup.io Talent wins games, but team work and intelligence wins championships. Michael Jordan

Providing neather is needed at build time, you could just put both in the optdepends. If they are needed to build the package create 2 PKGBUILDs, one for each version.

Good idea. Just complementing: with both PKGBUILDs having same "provides=()".

If two packages (tomcat is needed to run it), how would you name them? opengrok-tomcat6/-tomcat7 or opengrok-t6/t7? -- Jonathan Arnold Webstream: http://hieronymus.soup.io Talent wins games, but team work and intelligence wins championships. Michael Jordan

As Jesse said, If it's just needed to run it, not to build it, a single opengrok will suffice with boths tomcat in optdepends. However if tomcat is needed at build time (ie you have to put one or the other in makedepends, or here, in depends), then I would name them opengrok-tomcat6 and opengrok-tomcat7 to be the most explicit.
