Deps and 'suggests'

[toothandnail]

I have a package (my favourite backup software) which is entirely scipts, so depfinder doesn't find any deps for it.

There is no problem manually creating a deps file for it. What I'm not sure about is that there are a number of packages which are not a requirement, but may be needed for specific backup tasks. How should packages which would be useful but are not really deps be entered?

The Fedora build of the package simply makes them deps, but that seem a bit of overkill, since they will be needed for only some possible tasks, not for basic operation.

Hi,

Just make a .sug file.

Example:

Thanks. Never noticed one of them before. That should do nicely.
