NAME
depend - software dependencies file
DESCRIPTION
depend is an ASCII file used to specify information concern-
ing software dependencies for a particular package. The file
is created by a software developer.
Each entry in the depend file describes a single software
package. The instance of the package is described after the
entry line by giving the package architecture and/or ver-
sion. The format of each entry and subsequent instance
definition is:
type pkg name
(arch)version
(arch)version
...
The fields are:
type Defines the dependency type. Must be one of
the following characters:
P Indicates a prerequisite for ins-
tallation; for example, the refer-
enced package or versions must be
installed.
I Implies that the existence of the
indicated package or version is
incompatible.
R Indicates a reverse dependency.
Instead of defining the package's
own dependencies, this designates
that another package depends on
this one. This type should be used
only when an old package does not
have a depend file, but relies on
the newer package nonetheless.
Therefore, the present package
should not be removed if the desig-
nated old package is still on the
system since, if it is removed, the
old package will no longer work.

pkg Indicates the package abbreviation.
name Specifies the full package name.
(arch)version Specifies a particular instance of the
software. A version name cannot begin with a
left parenthesis. The instance specifica-
tions, both (arch) and version, are com-
pletely optional, but each (arch)version
pair must begin on a new line that begins
with white space. A null version set equates
to any version of the indicated package.
