Hello,
I want to create a package for an app that needs either pyaudio or (as
an alternative) pygame. How can I write this in the PKGBUILD?
And what's more: The main dependency pyaudio is "only" in AUR but the
alternative "pygame" is part of the official repos.
For now, I don't know when the app decides what package to use. So I
see three ways to do it:
* make both packages alternatives in the depends-array (but how?)
* make pygame a hard dependency (because it is an official package) and
pyaudio an optional one
* make both optional and write a message to .install, that at least one
of them has to be installed ...
Could you help me?
Uwe
