Hi I was thinking about the 'configurations' idea and how you just set up dependencies. Then I realised that prehaps it would be good to be able to list source-dependencies dependencies for the source package to compile and dependencies which Are source - so as to allow 'configurations' which include source. Prehaps the second one could be implemented in the normal dependencies just as packagename-src ... but would need some code support.
anyway ... just a whishlist item... Gareth
