Re: specifying a dependency on another package
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com OS X packages don't have dependency support like rpm yet. -pmb 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.

You are correct, you can create a requirement that prevents installation if required files are missing.
