Architecture dependency

Dealing with Architecture dependency to restrict a package installation to a specific OS and processor architecture is made with call to addArchDep() method.

For example, if we want to restrict a package installation on linux OS, and intel 8086 family processor, or on every architecture except Mac OS X (darwin), we should write :

Table 10.8. Arch installation condition

PHP code	XML equivalent
$p2->addArchDep('linux--i?86-');	<dependencies> <required> <!-- ... --> <arch> <pattern>linux--i?86-</pattern> </arch> </required> </dependencies>
$p2->addArchDep('darwin', true);	<dependencies> <required> <!-- ... --> <arch> <pattern>darwin</pattern> <conflicts /> </arch> </required> </dependencies>

PHP code

XML equivalent

           
$p2->addArchDep('linux-*-i?86-*');

           
<dependencies>
 <required>
<!-- ... -->
  <arch>
   <pattern>linux-*-i?86-*</pattern>
  </arch>
 </required>
</dependencies>

           
$p2->addArchDep('darwin', true);

           
<dependencies>
 <required>
<!-- ... -->
  <arch>
   <pattern>darwin</pattern>
   <conflicts />
  </arch>
 </required>
</dependencies>
