specifying a dependency on another package

  • Thread-topic: specifying a dependency on another package

I have looked through the developerTools/Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution
docs and I can't see how to create a dependency in my package on another
package.   When I create a rpm package I merely specify "Requires:
<rpm_package_name>" in the spec file and my rpm package has a dependency
on <rpm_package_name>.

I suppose I could use the IFRequirement file to look for a well known
file from the package on which I want to create the dependency, but I
was wondering if the OSX installer had a higher level notion of
dependencies (at the package level) such as the rpm mechanism.

Thanks for any hints,

Fred
