Well there are nine packages (and probably there can be others) which needs |
| 4 |
eject, and the eject commands are going to be quite a few if there isn't an |
| 5 |
"universal" eject as every os has its own way to eject a CD-Rom. |
| 6 |
So we'll have eject for linux, eject-bsd for freebsd (and maybe openbsd, don't |
| 7 |
know), eject-osx (and maybe eject-darwin) and eventual eject-solaris if there |
| 8 |
will ever be a solaris port. |

Every kernel has its own syscalls, and using conditional deps for every kernel |
| 10 |
on more than a couple of packages will surely be something annoying for |
| 11 |
maintainers. |
