Hi, I had no idea what subject to pick up. I hope it will attract somebody. :D
I have a source package (stellarium FYI) and I want to create a new source package that contains packages that will be *optional* for stellarium (stellarium-stars, i.e., additional stars for stellarium). The additional star packs don't change very often and therefore I would prefer to keep them separate from stellarium source package for the sake of simplicity and more meaningful version numbering. The problem is that, even though they are optional, a particular version of stellarium may require a particular version of star packs. For example, assume we have the following packages installed: stellarium-1.0 stellarium-stars-4.0 Now we install stellarum-2.0 and we have: stellarium-2.0 stellarium-stars-4.0 However, the version 2.0 changed format or something and will not work properly with stellarium-stars-4.0 and requires, say, a version 5.0 of stars. How can I model this using package relationships? The closest one I see is "Conflicts: stellarium-stars (<= 4.0)" in stellarium's 2.0 control file. Is there a better way?
