It might be worth looking at what the python packages in debian do. Basically (if I understand it correctly): python X depends on pythonX python-foo depends on pythonX-foo somepackage depends on python-foo and python python is an empty source package that simply depends on the agreed default python version for debian. a python-foo source package generates pythonX-foo and only if needed, packages for older versions of python. If a package needs the non-default version of python, they depend on the version explicitly: somepackage depends on pythonY-foo and pythonY All these python dependencies are generated by the dh_python script. and a {$python:Depends} in debian/control. I spose such a script would be good for php too. Also, it might be good to have a php cdbs class to make php/pear packages even easier. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
