For instance, if you install an archiver like `atool', it's your reponsibility to install the backends (unzip, p7zip, etc.) to support the various archive formats. Where to document this? Normally, in the package relation graph itself. For instance, in Debian gstreamer1.0-libav and gstreamer1.0-plugins-good are _recommended_ by libwebkit2gtk-* packages. From a user point of view, that means that when he mark epiphany-browser for installing in a package manager, such as aptitude(1), they are marked as well, but, unlike hard dependencies, can be unmarked. The same applies to atool and its backends, by the way. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIMEARYIACsWIQRSX35grYEsI2F1K7TIsPhUjufz5wUCXtqw0w0cZGFnQGdudWku b3JnAAoJEMiw+FSO5/PnPu8A/2OUvIFYbIzhoa0n6/KGO78dDi1tTydf9Mg9l6Kk 5W19AQCB/MGe0NfUvqNcdvLCQiSLbx6oKxyGWbuhQKIGbsbmAA== =MFVr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
