pkg-oder - A package ordering/dependency checker uploaded to master
Hi,
I have just uploaded an order determining tool to master's
Incoming directory. It should still be considered experimental, but
since it never pollutes anything but the current directory, you
should be safe as long as you experiment in /tmp ;-).
Unfortunately, this is slightly rushed, since I'm being called
away for a few days, and I wanted to have it in your hands for
testing.
Snip off a segment of a Packages file, put it in /tmp, and try
% pkg-order Packages (if the packages n the snipped off packages file
depend on each other the result would be more interesting).
I still need to write documentation of the internals, so that
people caould use the libraries in their own packages (dftp and
dpkg-ftp come to mind), and add bells and whistes (like multi-level
verbosity and debugging statements).
But mostlyI need comments from the potential users about
features they want in this package. Please check this package out, I
think we need something like this for release testing / mass
compilation tools.
manoj,
who hopes to be back saturday.
