[ANN]sbbdep 0.2.4 released

a4z · 02-28-2015, 01:33 PM

Hi and a nice Saturday evening (or what ever time you currently have)

A new version of sbbdep (Slack Build Binary Dependencies), the tool for exploring binary runtime dependencies on Slackware and Slackware based systems, is available.

I have just tagged the current state as version 0.2.4.

The source download is available here:
https://bitbucket.org/a4z/sbbdep/dow...p-0.2.4.tar.gz

This version is for Slackware 14.1 and above.

Changes from 0.2.3:

improve speed of cache synchronization
sync after install/update/remove packages is much faster now.

added --bdtree option
added --l option
details here: https://bitbucket.org/a4z/sbbdep/wiki/misc%20options
those are mostly placeholder for future development but have already some functionality

some improvements in dependency look up

less interesting for non development:
reduce code size, make things simpler
this is basically a fully re-write of large parts and a restructure,
(I hope I introduced no new problems!)
the bundle (sbbdep_slk) is not required anymore
the code is in a good shape for future development.

it you find problems, bugs, or have feature requests, please use the issue tracer or report them here.

Don't forget to visit the wiki https://bitbucket.org/a4z/sbbdep/wiki/Home

enjoy!

Congratulations and thanks, a4z.

Thanks for the effort to bring a much needed dependency resolution tool to Slackware.

If you aren't aware there is also tracepkg. Last time it was discussed here. I am not sure if it is still maintained. I have a slightly patched version here.

Anyway, having a maintained dependency resolution tool will be very helpful.

Cheers

Thanks! Nice work.

Salix made a dependency resolution for Slackware, sbbdep brings binary dependency information (and can help a little bit to make a dependency resolution). I think this is a difference.

I know tracepkg but it did not fulfill my needs and requirements

I should possible export this functionality via a command line switch
I thought it is obvious that such info, like which package you are missing, is just a SQL statement on a db from a full installation, but may be its more easy when I pack this as a ready to use function?

thanks for the report, have to look for a 32bit machine and fix this, so it will probably be tomorrow

Alien Bob · 03-01-2015, 02:41 PM

When you have fixed that build error, I will update the sbbdep package in my repository with this new version.
