with some delay caused by real live tasks I am very happy to be able to announce the release of Slackware Builds and Binaries Dependencies (Walker), in short sbbdep, version 0.2.0.
there where a lot of changes, here a shorted summary
fixes:
some issues with given arguments where fixed
some special handling of rpath for binaries corrected
some special sonames of libraries are respected
improvements:
dependencies to libelf and libfile removed, elf handling is now done with
http://elfio.sourceforge.net/
the above mentioned fixes are improvements
the listed new features are also improvements
new feature:
sbbdep does now verbose more when creating / syncing the cache,
there is a --quiet option which will turn off these messages
--xdl feature works now for packages and files for both, whoneeds and what's needed, queries
given a file that is not a dynamic linked one, sbbdep will search in the installed packages to find matches for the file name.
short sample for xdl and whoneeds usage

I am aware of the fact that the whoneeds option is for packages sometimes relative, if a lib is also in a different package.
This info is available within the program, but currently I am not sure how to display this info on the command line.
the command line output can become pretty long, and I would like to provide different report formats for output, I will see how I will handle this in future.
I am also start thinking about an (optional) gui for sbbdep.
here a xdl dependencies sample for a very small package
