[Description Spider (RETIRED) 2002-03-22 18:13:29 UTC]

00:59:56] <woodchip> karltk: do you have anything that'll display a dependency
tree for everything installed?  sorta like the histrogram thing only it tree'ing
on the packages.. :)  that'd look neat.
01:00:55] <karltk> woodchip: I could make one, I guess.
01:01:00] <karltk> woodchip: textmode ?
01:01:07] <woodchip> yes please :)
01:03:07] <karltk> woodchip: what would you like to be able to do with the dep
tree ?
01:04:22] <woodchip> nothing except seeing a visual represenation of the package
inter-relationships and how the depend on each other.  eye candy mostly i
suppose.. i really like the beautiful histogram thing :)

01:04:39] <Spider> all "orphaned" packages should be listed..
01:04:53] <Spider> Ie, those that have depends that arent satisfied.
01:05:21] <Spider> ie, if I remove qt, kde will be orphaned and then scheluded
for removal if I'd want that.

01:05:18] <woodchip> karltk: I was thinking of only whats installed _now_
01:06:25] <karltk> woodchip: do we have a nice histrogram thing ?


01:07:50] <karltk> Spider: yes. make a bug out of this and assign it to me.

I'm gonna wait with this one until we can get Portage to do the dirty work. Only
woodchip every requested it, and he's forgot about it now anyway... ;P
