13 via the restrict attribute (already in the metadata.xml specification):
14
15 The restrict attribute allows to restrict the application of certain tags to
16 certain versions of a package. When this attribute is used, a tag without
17 this attribute must also exist. That tag without the restrict attribute will
18 serve as the default. The format of the restrict attribute is that of the
19 DEPEND flag, except that "<" and ">" need to be specified by &lt; and &gt;.
