Research direction

Start by locating the code that parses and evaluates package provides entries, then trace how OpenJDK's version is available during that process. Check existing provides-related tests and add coverage for a conditional bin/jwebserver entry; done means the entry is included for version 21 and omitted for older versions.

Description

          just need to omit it; it would be a potential upgrade to libpkgx if desired.

Just to keep this tracked. openjdk 21+ provides bin/jwebserver while older versions does not.

It would be nice something like the following were allowed:

provides:
  - bin/java
  - program: bin/jwebserver
    if: {{version.major}} >= 21
