====
Deps
====

The Deps Plugin allows you to make a series of assertions like "Package X requires Package Y (and optionally also Package Z etc.)
Note that only configuration entries, like Package, !ConfigFile, etc can be used. Groupings (like Bundle) are not supported.

Here are some examples:

Deps/bcfg2.xml
==============

.. code-block:: xml

    <Dependencies priority='0'>
        <Package name='bcfg2'>
            <Package name='python-lxml'/>
            <Package name='isprelink'/>
        </Package>
    </Dependencies>

This basically causes any configuration specification that includes Package bcfg2 to include python-lxml and isprelink, in a second base clause.

Deps/bcfg2-server.xml
=====================

.. code-block:: xml

    <Dependencies priority='0'>
        <Package name='bcfg2-server'>
            <Package name='python-cheetah'/>
            <Package name='gamin-python'/>
            <Package name='sqlite'/>
            <Package name='python-sqlite'/>
            <Package name='Django'/>
            <Package name='mod_python'/>
            <Package name='graphviz'/>
            <Package name='xorg-x11-font-utils'/>
            <Package name='chkfontpath'/>
            <Package name='ttmkfdir'/>
            <Package name='xorg-x11-xfs'/>
            <Package name='urw-fonts'/>
        </Package>
    </Dependencies>

This states that the bcfg2-server package (it's a separate package on some distros) depends on a long list of other packages.
