Summary: An ability to have grouped optional_depends
Product: Sorcery
Version: Untargetted future release
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: subroutines
AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: dkowis AT shlrm.org


For instance, in the awesome spell, you have to have several things to
optionally build the manpages.

Either the user has to answer y to all of those. There's no good clean way to
specify that they should, other than a message, or an exorbiantly long
description.

The workaround is to have hard depends within an if...then statement, but
that's less than ideal, because gaze dependencies can't report them as
optional.

So my feature request is to have a group_optional_depends "question" <default
answer> spell1 spell2 spell3 ...spellN

Or something similar to, that will report the optional depends as a group from
one question.
