That's kinda silly. If something is obsolete, let's not perpetuate it and create new ones of it:) The separate pythonXX-socket packages are obsolete as of py25 (been absorbed into pythonXX itself)...let them die please. Coincidentally, python < 25 is EOL'ed. So if you have a package that is Type:python(2.5 2.6), Depends:python%type_pkg[python] is all you need, no socket dep at all. I see there is currently ccpnmr for 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6. You could split that into two separate .info, leaving the old (existing) version for old (2.3, 2.4) python with all those socket things, and only bother updating the moderner python (2.5, 2.6) without the socket things. > ...and recraft the depends line to handle the depreciated socket > packages for both python25 and python26.

Conditionals aren't full boolean math, but luckily they're more string-like also. Maybe something like: (%type_pkg[python] << 25) python%type_pkg[python]-socket-ssl | (%type_pkg[python] << 25) python%type_pkg[python]-socket dan -- Daniel Macks dma...@netspace.org http://www.netspace.org/~dmacks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
