Read this document from top to bottom, and +as soon as you find a criterion that applies to your source package, you +can add the specified versioned build dependency and stop reading. + +Add `opkbuild (>= 4.2.2+dev)` to your `Build-Depends` if... + + * Your binary packages don't list in their `Depends` fields the binary + package that provides source package documentation. + * Your ProteanOS source package version contains an epoch, e.g. + `1:2.0-1`. + * Any two or more of your binary packages would have the same name if + all characters except letters and numbers were removed, e.g. + `libc-1` and `libc++.1`. + +Add `opkbuild (>= 4.2.2)` to your `Build-Depends` if... + + * Any of your substitution variables are used in binary package + dependency fields and contain dependency restrictions or newline + characters. This is common for example in platform configuration + source packages that use `platconf-pkg-tools` which generates binary + package control files that get `Depends` field values from + substitution variables. + +Add `opkbuild (>= 4.2.1)` to your `Build-Depends` if... + + * Your `Build-Depends` field contains newline characters. + +Add `opkbuild (>= 4.2.0)` to your `Build-Depends` if... + + * Any of your binary packages has a `Section` field. + +Add `opkbuild (>= 4.1.4)` to your `Build-Depends` if... + + * Your ProteanOS source package version indicates an upload of a new + upstream version to a non-trunk distribution (e.g. version + `2019a-0+rs1~1`) or an upload of a backport to a non-trunk + distribution (e.g. version `3.0-2+bpu1+1`). + +Add `opkbuild (>= 4.0.2)` to your `Build-Depends` if... + + * Your ProteanOS source package upstream version contains a plus sign, + e.g. `1.4+git20141115.146bff1-1`. + +Add `opkbuild (>= 4.0.1)` to your `Build-Depends` if... + + * You use binary package substitution variables files in the build + work area, e.g. with opkhelper's oh-shlibdeps utility.
