For us, since we don't have the SUSE patches that make PreReq do
things, the way we'd declare this with upstream RPM features would be:
Please don't spread misinformation, openSUSE doesn't have patches to
make PreReq anyhow special. They merely undo the deprecation warning
that is issued on PreReq. With or without that, a PreReq will be
translated to Requires(pre,preun) to simulate what the original PreReq did.
Huh, for some reason I thought it also did something else...
Requires: user(wwwrun)
OrderWithRequires: user(wwwrun)
I'm not sure how one is supposed to read the above, but certainly one
does NOT need both Requires and OrderWithRequires on the same thing in a
package. Requires(pre) might be in order because for user/group you
really want them installed first in case of loops, but this is details
without
OtherWithRequires makes it so that if it's in the same transaction,
it'll get installed before this package. Otherwise it doesn't matter,
yes.
Um, what?
OrderWithRequires behaves exactly like Requires for *ordering*. There's
no additional mystery magic there.
OtherWithRequires can be used to affect ordering in the case no hard
dependency exists. With users, there's always a hard dependency, and
OrderWithRequires achieves nothing at all but obfusctation.
Well, then, today I learned I guess. Does Requires(pre) work even
without a %pre script?
Yes, dependency processing is not connected to scriptlets in any way.
