And how do you expect automated tools to handle these soft requirements? Either you always install them, or you never do, which basically brings up the question, whats the point? Why do this instead of just Requires or not? A far better solution is to split the libraries that would use say aalib into a subpackage so that you can install the base package without needing aalib, and choose to install the subpackage that might pull in the aalib dep. The OLPC project has helped to identify a lot of these scenarios and to split out functionality as such. -- Jesse Keating Release Engineer: Fedora
