Folks,
I would like to see us have alternatives to the Debian xdeb-graph type
tools where we can visualize minimal dependencies for bootstrapping. I
believe there are several scripts floating around, and that styrene
might be able to provide some of what we're looking for...Jon?
Failing that, what other options do we have to get away from just
looking at the minimal buildroot package lists, etc.?
Couldn't one write a python script based around yum to generate this
dependency list? Obviously you need to seed the list of known packages
(filesystem, basesystem, bash, etc) but you could easily create a list
of dependencies from the yum repos, no?
Jon.
