This meta-plugin allows regular plugins to specify other plugins that they depend upon.

Example:

/*
Plugin Name: BuddyPress Debug
Depends: BuddyPress, Debug Bar
*/

What this does:

  • Disables activation of BuddyPress Debug until both BuddyPress and Debug Bar are already activated.
  • When either BuddyPress or Debug Bar are deactivated, BuddyPress Debug will also be deactivated.

= Enriching dependency information =
Unfortunately, very few plugins currently contain dependency information. If you’d like to enhance the information available to this plugin, you might want to install the Known Plugin Dependencies plugin which acts as an add-on to this one.
