Hi Benoît, Thanks for the quick response. Although, I must say I'm not very fond of the 3 .deb packages solution when it could be done in 1 .deb package. Instead of control file with: Package: borderbug Version: 0.0.1-2 Architecture: all Maintainer: willy <willy@Ambiorix> Installed-Size: 55 Depends: gambas3-runtime (>= 3.8), gambas3-runtime (<< 3.99.0), gambas3-gb-image (>= 3.8), gambas3-gb-image (<< 3.99.0), gambas3-gb-form (>= 3.8), gambas3-gb-form (<< 3.99.0) Section: contrib/editors Priority: optional Description: Missing description Missing description This program is written in Gambas. And two more .deb packages with their specific dependencies gambas-gb-qt4 and gambas-gb-qt5 in their own control file, gb.gui.qt component could make 1 .deb package with following control file: Package: borderbug Version: 0.0.1-2 Architecture: all Maintainer: willy <willy@Ambiorix> Installed-Size: 55 Depends: gambas3-runtime (>= 3.8), gambas3-runtime (<< 3.99.0), gambas3-gb-image (>= 3.8), gambas3-gb-image (<< 3.99.0), gambas3-gb-form (>= 3.8), gambas3-gb-form (<< 3.99.0), gambas3-gb-qt4 (>=3.8) | gambas3-gb-qt5 (>=3.8)), gambas3-gb-qt4 (<< 3.99.0) | gambas3-gb-qt5 (<< 3.99.0)) Section: contrib/editors Priority: optional Description: Missing description Missing description This program is written in Gambas. When packaged with above control file you will get 1 .deb package that will install on both qt4 and qt5 based systems. This is the Debian manner of taking care of such a problem. These lines take care of that: gambas3-gb-qt4 (>=3.8) | gambas3-gb-qt5 (>=3.8)), gambas3-gb-qt4 (<< 3.99.0) | gambas3-gb-qt5 (<< 3.99.0)) If qt4 used, qt5 is excluded and vica versa. All it would take is make the packager aware that gb.gui.qt is used and thus make the control file as described above and thus giving 1 .deb package. I prefer the 1 .deb package solution over the 3 .deb packages solution. I hope you feel the same ;) gbWilly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list Gambas-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
