So - I have list of x (6-12 depend of platform) packages that have to be present and their minimal versions. There is no problem to check that package X is installed , and query version of it, that is installed. Problem is - how to compare those quered version with minimum I have from development...Smilie

NAME
order - package installation order description file DESCRIPTION
The package installation order file, .order, is an ASCII file specifying the order in which packages must be installed based on their pre- requisite dependencies. Any package with prerequisite dependencies must be installed after any packages it lists as a prerequisite dependency in its depend file. A .order file is required for the OS product. The .order file must reside in the top-level directory containing the product. The ordering is specified as a list of package identifiers, from the first package to be installed to the last, one package identifier per line. NOTES
The depend file supports incompatible and reverse dependencies. These dependency types are not recognized in the order file. SEE ALSO
