This assembly contains all open-source dependencies as required by bdistribution and bdevel, for all supported platforms and in all required versions.

Dependencies dealing with graphical user interfaces have been moved to bdep-oss-gui to speed up travis-ci.

All other, non-free dependencies are described in the bdep-nonfree assembly. The latter will not contain the actual software due to restrictive licenses, but have to be added by the user who has to provide his own copy the the licensed software.

A dependency in our sense of the word is a python or c/c++ library for the sole purpose of importing or linking against it at runtime, as appropriate. Dependencies suitable for building programs are provided in a separate assembly as needed.

We depend on the following variable to be set within the yaml settings: assembly.trees.oss-dependencies. It is set by either bdevel or bdistribution to point to our respective root.

Additionally, platform.id must be set to the name of the platform.

The reason for this is that we want to be easily integrated, either to be part of another assembly, or to live side-by-side, whatever fits best to the respective user.

Packages we depend on are kep in the lib/ directory, and each package follows the structure below.

.
`-- <package>
    `-- <version>
        `-- <platform>

As each package is configured via yaml files in etc/, arbitrary package structures can be used if necessary or useful. However, to reduce confusion, we try not to deviate from the rules unless absolutely required.
