Script to get all dependencies from slackbuild file
 

Is it possible to create a script that will list all dependencies from a slackbuild file? For example, http://slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/1...t/QtiPlot.info file. The REQUIRES statement has dependencies. The script needs to check each of these programs to find their dependencies as well, unless they are already in the list. Hence, the aim is to get the full list of dependencies. Thanks for your help.

There is a script called sqg which does this, it is included with sbopkg and installed in /usr/doc/sbopkg-x.x/contrib
You can get sbopkg at https://sbopkg.org/

Sqg will ceeate a queue file and then you can use sbopkg -i to install the package using the queue file.

There's also a project called sbotools, which does that.
