Description : Expand dependencies in a list of seed packages
Germinate takes lists of seed packages and expands their dependencies to
produce a full list of packages. This can be used for purposes such as
managing the list of packages present in a derived distribution's archive
or CD builds.
We wrote this program for Ubuntu originally to work out how much we
could fit on a single CD, but it's now used as an important part of the
Ubuntu archive and CD image building processing, including deciding what
packages end up in our main component and which in universe. There are
some Ubuntu-specific bits in it but they're mostly in the form of
default configuration options.
I hadn't thought it was worth uploading this to Debian before, but
Gustavo Franco asked me to package this for Debian (for Utnubu, I
gather), so I don't see why not.
Cheers,

Description:
germinate - Expand dependencies in a list of seed packages
Closes: 360631
Changes:
germinate (0.12) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Upload to Debian (closes: #360631).
* Switch to my debian.org maintainer address.
.
germinate (0.11) dapper; urgency=low
.
* Fix plantSeed() backward incompatibility for *-meta/update scripts by
defaulting seedrelease to None.
.
germinate (0.10) dapper; urgency=low
.
* Add seed distribution name to seed descriptions in the "Why" column.
.
germinate (0.9) dapper; urgency=low
.
* When processing the build tree, germinate is (correctly) careful not to
promote packages from lesser seeds, since we still want to consider them
(e.g.) part of ship even if they're build-dependencies of desktop.
However, this sometimes caused us to select the wrong alternative from
an or-ed build-dependency (e.g. redland Build-Depends:
libmysqlclient15-dev | libmysqlclient12-dev | libmysqlclient10-dev and
libmysqlclient15-dev was in the Ubuntu supported seed). To fix this,
process the packages at that point anyway and just avoid promoting them.
.
germinate (0.8) dapper; urgency=low
.
* When identifying extras, check for binaries built from multiple source
packages and skip any superseded binaries.
* Change default for --components to main and restricted, since the Ubuntu
seeds rely on packages from restricted in order to germinate correctly.
.
germinate (0.7) dapper; urgency=low
.
* Depend on python-apt (thanks, Jani Monoses).
.
germinate (0.6) dapper; urgency=low
.
* Add regular expression support in seeds. Weaken architecture
specification error checking in order to be able to use [...] in regular
expressions more easily.
* Add support for including all the binaries from a given source package
(using "%source") in seeds.
* Add germinate --cleanup option, to prevent caching of Packages and
Sources files.
* Add germinate --source-mirror option, to allow Packages and Sources
files to be on different mirrors (e.g. Ubuntu ports architectures).
.
germinate (0.5) dapper; urgency=high
.
* Stop accidentally including extra in the all and supported+build-depends
outputs.
.
germinate (0.4) dapper; urgency=low
.
* Don't attempt to satisfy versioned dependencies of .debs using virtual
packages, as the packaging toolchain doesn't support that. (udpkg/anna
do support this for .udebs, and the installer relies on that.)
* Change default distribution to dapper.
.
germinate (0.3) breezy; urgency=low
.
* Add a man page for germinate.
* Explain in pkg-diff --help that you can supply a list of seeds to
compare against as non-option arguments.
* Update pkg-diff's default seeds to 'minimal standard desktop', to match
the breezy seeds.
* Add germinate --seed-packages option, to allow calculating dependencies
of individual extra packages during a germinate run.
* Policy version 3.6.2. No changes required.
* Update GPL notices with the FSF's new address.
.
germinate (0.2) breezy; urgency=low
.
* Fix formatting of output lines with UTF-8 maintainer strings.
* Really pick the first reason from the build-dependency tree to display
in output files.
* Record allowed d-i kernel versions on a per-seed basis, so that we can
have some kernel versions supported for netboot installations only.
* Force a trailing slash onto the end of any --seed-source argument.
.
germinate (0.1) breezy; urgency=low
.
* Initial release.
