Description : dependency solver using a satisfiability algorithm
This dependency solver code in this package is based on two major, but
independent, blocks:
.
1. Using a dictionary approach to store and retrieve package
and dependency information.
2. Using satisfiability, a well known and researched topic, for
resolving package dependencies.
.
Search the internet for 'sat solver' to get links to the theory behind it.
.
Supported package formats:
- rpm/rpm5
- deb
- arch linux
- haiku
.
Supported repository formats:
- rpmmd (primary, filelists, comps, deltainfo/presto, updateinfo)
- susetags, suse product formats
- mandriva/mageia (synthesis, info, files)
- arch linux
- red carpet helix format
- haiku
This package is required to introduce zypper to Debian. Goal of getting
zipper into Debian is providing the obs-build tool in Debian.
With obs-build it is possible to chroot-build packages for openSUSE and SLES.
The packages will be deployed on https://jenkins.x2go.org for providing
X2Go nightly builds for openSUSE & co.
