OS X packages don't have dependency support like rpm yet.
You are correct, you can create a requirement that prevents
installation if required files are missing.

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
