I took a look at putting virtual package versions into dpkg, and realized that there were some undefined issues:
(1) If a package provides a package version and some other package conflicts with that package version, this would be a conflict, right? [I suspect we'll eventually regret this.] (2) A package should be able to provide multiple versions of a virtual package, right? [See (1) for one of the implications] Also note that I'm deliberately blurring the distinction between virtual packages and packages which provide "real package names"... I could not find any policy on providing non-virtual packages. I don't like this blurred distinction, but at the moment I'm not sure how it should be best addressed. -- Raul -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
