Dependency Types

In IPS, a package cannot be installed unless all package dependencies are satisfied. IPS allows packages to be mutually dependent (to have circular dependencies). IPS also allows packages to have different kinds of dependencies on the same package at the same time.

Each section in this chapter contains an example depend action as it would appear in a manifest during package creation.
