Operating System dependency

Dealing with OS dependency to restrict a package installation is made with call to addOsDep() method.

For example, if we want to restrict a package installation on linux OS, or on every OS except windows, we should write :

Table 10.7. OS installation condition

PHP code	XML equivalent
$p2->addOsDep('linux');	<dependencies> <required> <!-- ... --> <os> <name>linux</name> </os> </required> </dependencies>
$p2->addOsDep('windows', true);	<dependencies> <required> <!-- ... --> <os> <name>windows</name> <conflicts /> </os> </required> </dependencies>

PHP code

XML equivalent

           
$p2->addOsDep('linux');

           
<dependencies>
 <required>
<!-- ... -->
  <os>
   <name>linux</name>
  </os>
 </required>
</dependencies>

           
$p2->addOsDep('windows', true);

           
<dependencies>
 <required>
<!-- ... -->
  <os>
   <name>windows</name>
   <conflicts />
