Grafting is recursive: when an indirect dependency requires grafting, then grafting ``propagates'' up to the package that the user is installing. -Currently, the graft and the package it replaces (@var{bash-fixed} and -@var{bash} in the example above) must have the exact same @code{name} -and @code{version} fields. This restriction mostly comes from the fact -that grafting works by patching files, including binary files, directly. +Currently, the length of the name and version of the graft and that of +the package it replaces (@var{bash-fixed} and @var{bash} in the example +above) must be equal. This restriction mostly comes from the fact that +grafting works by patching files, including binary files, directly. Other restrictions may apply: for instance, when adding a graft to a package providing a shared library, the original shared library and its replacement must have the same @code{SONAME} and be binary-compatible. |
