CC'ing Paul as hopefully he knows where to look to get the full list of supported expressions. 35417 1 srifenbark 2013-08-06 10:34:53 +0000 Get me the options and I will get this in. Scott 35424 2 ross.burton 2013-08-06 14:04:37 +0000 Mark kindly commented on the thread which spawned this bug: The format for RDEPENDS is slightly different from all three [packaging systems]. dep (= ver) dep (< ver) dep (> ver) dep (<= ver) dep (>= ver) Hopefully the operators are fairly self-explanatory. 35604 3 srifenbark 2013-08-13 06:14:56 +0000 Ross, I don't get the last comment. It implies different syntax forms for different packaging systems. However, the list shows the standard Boolean logical operators from which I can't discern any differences based on package types. Scott 35609 4 ross.burton 2013-08-13 08:20:00 +0000 Sorry, my quoting was a bit too tight. Each of the possible packaging formats has a different syntax for dependencies, but we hide that from the user. The table in comment 2 is the syntax for versioned dependencies that bitbake supports. 36828 5 srifenbark 2013-09-17 23:05:43 +0000 Ross, Check out the last part for the RDEPENDS variable at http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.5/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#var-RDEPENDS. Let me know if this covers it. Once we are okay with it, you can indicate the other variables that need the same explanation. I am assuming that is what you meant by "etc" in your comment. I imagine DEPENDS would be one of them. Scott 36854 6 ross.burton 2013-09-18 10:20:52 +0000 By "etc" I meant the other runtime dependences, so RCONFLICTS RRECOMMENDS RREPLACES. 36880 7 srifenbark 2013-09-18 15:12:06 +0000 Ross, Thanks for the clarification. Can you "okay" the RDEPENDS section changes first then or send me feedback on them? Once I have those solid I will make similar changes to the other R* variables. Scott 36905 8 ross.burton 2013-09-18 18:50:50 +0000 Sorry, meant to put that in my reply too. The new material is great. 36915 9 srifenbark 2013-09-18 22:07:11 +0000 Hi, I have added similar wordings to the RCONFLICTS, RREPLACES, and RRECOMMENDS variables to support versioned specification of a package. The wording was "okayed" for RDEPENDS so I am marking this bug RESOLVED.
