Configuration

The plugin must be configured with the acceptabe package dependencies for the package.

"DependencyCheck": {
    "AcceptableDependencies": [],
    "AcceptableDependencies-<MODULE_TYPE>": [],
    "IgnoreInf": []
}

AcceptableDependencies

Package dec files that are allowed in all INFs. Example: MdePkg/MdePkg.dec

AcceptableDependencies-<MODULE_TYPE>

OPTIONAL Package dependencies for INFs that have module type <MODULE_TYPE>. Example: AcceptableDependencies-HOST_APPLICATION.

IgnoreInf

OPTIONAL list of INFs to ignore for this dependency check.
