I'm surprised none of them are mine. It confuses me every time that I have to use REQUIRES, but DEPEND instead of DEPENDS. I have to go look it up again once or twice a month. To minimize the cognitive load on maintainers' brains, I humbly propose that cygport honor both REQUIRE and REQUIRES, and DEPEND and DEPENDS. Or it that's too ugly, make them both of the same form, i.e. REQUIRE and DEPEND. A one-time backwards-incompatible change that would make things easier in the future. Andrew
