Summary: Feature Request: Dependency File Project: Synaptic Submitted by: None Submitted on: Tuesday 10/30/2007 at 18:00 UTC Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: Like a .deb: (maybe call it .dep) A file which lists dependencies for a piece of software. This is preferably really easy to write, with no extra software needed, and in plain text format. The idea is that when you download software, or source, you can click on a link to download the file, get a prompt if you want to install these dependencies, an run/compile the software without further hassle. For an example, take a look at the bottom of this page: http://arrakis.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Downloads the user needs to enter all dependencies separately into synaptic to check if they are installed, and this can be improved by the proposed .dep file. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?21480> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.nongnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Synaptic-devel mailing list Synaptic-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/synaptic-devel
