[Fink-devel] versioning Depends in info files

[Hanspeter Niederstrasser]

Is there a way to get the dependency engine to accept a specific version 
of another package but wildcard the revision field when searching?  For 
example, I want Package A to depend on Package B-0.3.3, but I don't care 
what revision of Package B (eg 0.3.3-1 and 0.3.3-7 are OK, but 0.3.4-1 is 
no longer ok).  I tried setting Depends to (= %v), but this gives me an 
error that Package B (= 0.3.3) has no matching package/versions found.

Right now I'm using Depends: Package B (>= %v), but this will invariably 
be affected once the package version gets increased.  In other words, I 
don't want to hard code the revision number in case the Depended package 
changes in such a way that doesn't affect the functionality.
