Well, it would be a random accident if your constructs would match with rpm's "then syntax". E.g. openSUSE's rpm has such constructs, but they are using a different *spec-syntax. They have "Recommends:, Supplements:, Enhances:, Suggests:", not Requires(hint). > Too bad that wont ever happen. You can never be sure. openSUSE claims to be supporting them. Whether these are useful is a different matter. Ralf -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
