What depends on less and what man depends on.

[Bas van Gompel <cygwin dot buzz at bavag dot tmfweb dot nl>]

No, I'm not getting filosofical here. ;)

Hallo all,

Sometimes one wants to know what depends on a package or vice versa.

To find out, using the local setup.inis, I wrote following script.
It uses make to recursively find and display all dependencies in
either direction.

To find out what needs less:
cyg-deps less
To find out what man needs:
cyg-deps -r man

Insert a '-v' after the script's name to see any messages from make.
(e.g. about circular dependencies.)


This script requires /bin/sh, cat, sed, cygpath, (g)awk, make, a
package-dir left by setup, /etc/setup/last-mirror and
/etc/setup/last-cache.


I hope anyone likes and/or can find a use for it.


L8r,

Buzz.
