<h1>suggestions.conf</h1>

|
|
|
<p>The <code>suggestions.conf</code> file allows suggested dependencies to be automatically taken or ignored. It is a
|
|
standard configuration file which may be a bash file (<code>suggestions.bash</code>) and which may use the
|
|
<code>suggestions.conf.d/</code> directory. Note that suggestions are not generally used on Gentoo.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Each line in the file consists of a specification followed by one or more tokens. A specification may be any of:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The special specification <code>*/*</code>, which matches all packages.</li>
|
|
<li>A simple <code>category/package</code> name.</li>
|
|
<li>A simple <code>set</code> name.</li>
|
|
<li>A complex dependency specification.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Lines are considered only if the package containing the suggested dependency matches the specification.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A token may be one of the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A simple <code>cat/pkg</code>, which says to take any suggestions related to the named package. Note that
|
|
complex dependency specifications may <em>not</em> be used here; however, either or both of the <code>cat</code>
|
|
and <code>pkg</code> tokens may be <code>*</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>A suggestions group name, to take all suggestions with that group.</li>
|
|
<li>A minus sign, followed by either of the above, to discard rather than take the suggestion in question.</li>
|
|
</ul>
