<PRE>Guillaume Rousse a &#233;crit :
&gt;<i> Le 18/02/2012 01:28, andre999 a &#233;crit :
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Exactly. Let's document all virtual provides.
</I>&gt;<i> Once again 'virtual provide' makes no sense, just because there is no 
</I>&gt;<i> non-virtual provides (and in plain english, no provides at all, 
</I>&gt;<i> because that's a verb, not a noun). They are virtual *packages*, by 
</I>&gt;<i> opposition to actual packages, for which you can find a file with same 
</I>&gt;<i> name.
</I>True ;)
Just using a common phrase.
(BTW, a verb can be used as a noun in English, although that is more an 
exceptional usage.)
Since &quot;provides&quot; is the keyword used, it makes sense to me to use that 
in the reference.
Better to say something like &quot;defined provides&quot; or &quot;explicit provides&quot; ?
