Hi:
I am investigating the feasibility of managing package dependency while
using distribution scripts and had a few queries...
1. Could the distribution script of my package define a dependency for
another package (something similar to RPM)? The other package need not
be part of the same metapackage containing my package.
e.g. Say, I have to install the "iTunes" package that in turn requires an
installation of the "QuickTime" package. The QuickTime package need not be
part of the same metapackage containing the iTunes package. It could reside
on a web server or in a different metapackage outside the iTunes package.
2. Would distribution scripts be the recommended way to go for such
package dependency management?
If there are any samples/documentation already available regarding package
dependency management, could somebody point me to it ?
TIA
