pkg-order upload
Hi,
I am uploading to master a new version of pkg-order, which
contains the new scripts:
a) pkg-nodep -- lists all installed packages that have no other
packages that depend or pre depend on them (optionally check
recommends and suggests as well)
b) pkg-deptree -- Pretty print the dependency tree (I'll use Perl
reports and prettify this when I get time)
c) pkg-revdeps -- pretty print the list of packages a package depends
on.
Right now, the scripts (as well as pkg-order) assume that the
list of packages installed can be derived from the dpkg file
/var/lib/dpkg/status (we look at the status field to ensure the
package is really still installed).
I plan on adding a switch to all scripts to allow users to
override this by supplying a Packages file for all installed
packages. This will allow people to run what-if scenarios or run a
package ordering operation for another machine.
