Hi,

Seeing the earlier post re. tetex and texlive perhaps there is a case for extending pacman to support alternate dependencies.

By this I mean a package could depend on one of a choice of packages. The syntax could be something like:

depends=( tetex|texlive )

where the individual dependencies retain their current features e.g. versions etc.

Opinions welcomed.


That's what provisions are for.
