Hi,

as there is no 'or/||' possible in the REQUIRES tag, installing package 
"a" with REQUIRES=jack-audio-connection-kit
and then installing package "b" with REQUIRES=jack2 will end with a 
broken jack, as jack-audio-connection-kit and jack2
are conflicting packages. Details at 
https://github.com/jackaudio/jackaudio.github.com/wiki/Q_difference_jack1_jack2

Grepping throus SBo git shows

slackbuilds> find . -type f -iname '*info' -exec grep -H REQUIRES '{}' + 
| grep jack-audio-connection-kit  | wc -l
73
slackbuilds> find . -type f -iname '*info' -exec grep -H REQUIRES '{}' + 
| grep jack2  | wc -l
6

If i change my builds to jack-audio-connection-kit, then there will only 
be two builds left with dep on jack2, namely
MuseScore and lives.
If their maintainers have no problem with jack-audio-connection-kit, 
maybe jack-audio-connection-kit could
be handled as default jack on SBo?

Johannes
