The simpler version of the idea is just a simple string equality test: Depends: (%type_perl_version 5.8.1) thing-pm Depends: (X%type_nox X) x11 Either tho two strings are the same (so the package is kept as a dependency) or they are not (in which case the it is not). Although the second example is kinda shell-ugly. > This is partly my personal opinion, partly an opinion as someone who > wants to keep things simple so that we do not slide into a > documentation, explanation, support nightmare.
