| * **$DEPENDS:** Set dependencies, there may be several dependencies separated by a space or on several lines.

| * **$TARBALL :** The archive is a source with the extension (tar.gz, tgz or tar.bz2). In general, the variables $PACKAGE and $VERSION are used to just change the extension, it helps to upgrade the package without changing the $VERSION variable.

| * **$WGET_URL :** URL to download the source file. In general the variable $TARBALL should be used to facilitate the updating of the package without changing the $VERSION. Using a configuration file, Cookutils also configures by default 3 mirrors: $GNU_MIRROR for the GNU mirror, $SF_MIRROR for SourceForge and XORG_MIRROR for mirroring the graphical server Xorg.

| * **$CONFIG_FILES :** Some packages provide customized configuration files. The $CONFIG_FILES variable provides a list of these files that can be saved by the 'tazpkg repack-config' command. These files are not overwritten when reinstalling the package if they already exist and the package can be successfully recreated with 'tazpkg repack', (even if they have been modified since). Netatalk for example: | * **$CONFIG_FILES :** Some packages provide customized configuration files.

| * **$WANTED :** SliTaz packages normally depend on the compilation of a source package.

| - | * **$SOURCE :** It may be that the Tazpkg package name differs from the name of the source package. Example for Xorg packages, the name of Tazpkg library X11 is 'xorg-libX11' and the name of the package source is libX11. $SOURCE allows you to use the variables $src and $_pkg during the cooking of a package. It should be noted that in the case of libX11, the name of the source archive becomes $SOURCE-$VERSION.tar.gz. | + | * **$SOURCE :** It may be that the Tazpkg package name differs from the name of the source package.

It should be noted that in the case of libX11, the name of the source archive becomes $SOURCE-$VERSION.tar.gz. |
| * **$PROVIDE :** Some packages offer the same functionality, for instance the web server was at first lighttpd; now apache is available. All packages dependent on a web server refer to lighttpd. The //PROVIDE="lighttpd"// variable in the apache recipe states that packages dependent on lighttpd do not need to install the lighttpd package if apache is already on the system. Some packages may vary according to the webserver you choose, ie. the php package is dependent on lighttpd, as is php-apache on apache. The //PROVIDE="php:apache"// in the apache recipe says that you must install php-apache instead of php, if apache is already on the system. Therefore each package dependent on php will install either php-apache or php according to the webserver on the system. This variable also chooses packages compiled with different options. The //PROVIDE="epdfview:cups"// in the epdfview-cups recipe allows you to install epdfview with printer support via cups if cups is already on the system. \\ | * **$PROVIDE :** Some packages offer the same functionality, for instance the web server was at first lighttpd; now apache is available.
