DetailsSo we have <depends>, <makedepends>, <conflicts>, <provides> and <replaces>.
What about <makeconflicts> ? I faced a corner case today that could have benefited from such a feature. gstreamer0.10-bad-plugins needs schroedinger to support proper dirac decoding. schroedinger depends now on orc(Oil Runtime Compiler). A gstreamer plugin named cog uses orc internally and conflicts with the stand-alone compiler. What that means? If you try to build gstreamer0.10-bad{,-plugins} using the official PKGBUILD and with schroedinger and orc installed, the build will simply fail. Luckily, with this corner case I simply added "--disable-cog" to ./configure and had my schroedinger,dirac plugins properly built. But the process made me think about <makeconflicts>. |
This task depends upon

Reason for closing: Won't implement
Additional comments about closing: See comment. A note in the PKGBUILD would be the best approach.

My initial impression is that this would always be an incomplete list and that a note inside the PKGBUILD would be better.

I don't think this is worthwhile. Best not to let the feeping creatures attack.
