Ability to provide more accurate info about module requirements in modules directory

[teppo]

Not really a ProcessWire wish, but related:

Currently it's only possible to state a supported ProcessWire version for a module in the modules directory, and that has to be 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4. Anything beyond that has to go to comments (where it's rather easy to miss).

The most basic thing I could think of would be the ability to provide required ProcessWire version as '2.4.1' etc. in case that nearest minor version (2.4 in this case) isn't supported. I'd also like to specify any other modules that are required -- and perhaps even more specific things than that, such as PHP version or specific extension (Imagick comes to mind first).

Didn't read this properly. You are referring to the modules directory, duh! Sorry!

Teppo, you can already do this since a couple of 2.4.1 ago. I can't find the post now but you can specify PHP version and other requirements

... and if PHP needs something like exec() (shell access) enabled what is mostly not with shared hosts and php embedded as apache module.
