→Chaining a package: Even if a chained package isn't mentioned in Profiles.xml, incrementing its revision will cause it to be upgraded.
== Chaining a package ==
By using '''chain''' you ''chain'' a package to the current package, meaning that if this package is installed, the other package also has to be installed but right ''after'' the current package.
Even if a chained package isn't mentioned in [[Profiles.xml]], incrementing its revision will cause it to be upgraded.
'''Attention:''' a chained package might also be installed before the package chaining it. This might happen if the chained package is either already installed (possible by another dependency) or has higher priority than the package which references it by chain. If you need to ensure that a package is installed before another one please specify a dependency (see [[Depending on a package]])
