Guys,

Is it possible to have both a 'greater than' and 'less than' dependency on any
single package listed as a depends in a PKGBUILD? I want to specify gegl
>=0.1.8 and <=0.2 for gimp26. Possible?

Man page says:

<quote>
Entries can also include a version requirement of the form name<>version, where
<> is one of five comparisons: >= (greater than or equal to), <= (less than or
equal to), = (equal to), > (greater than), or < (less than).
</quote>

Where the operative phrase is: 'is one of five...'
^^^

Can you list a depends twice? (i.e.: gegl>=0.1.8 gegl<=0.2)

Yes, and they have to be listed just like you did above, i.e. as two
separate depends.
