botch-create-graph1

Create graph based on installation sets, strong dependency sets or dependency closures

Overview

Given a repository of source packages and binary packages, create the build graph and source graph for it

Options

--version

show program's version and exit

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-v, --verbose

print additional information

--quiet

do no print any messages

-A, --available=FILE

List of available packages (arch:all, crossed...) in control file format

--custom-is=FILE

list of files with dependencies that should not be part of the IS

--deb-drop-b-d-indep

Drop Build-Depends-Indep dependencies

--deb-drop-b-d-arch

Drop Build-Depends-Arch dependencies

--allowsrcmismatch

If a binary package is without a source package but there is a source package of same name but different version, match this binary package to that source package.

--progress

print progress bars

--timers

print timing information

--strongtype

generate a strong build graph (only strong dependencies)

--closuretype

generate a dependency closure build graph (all dependency relationships)

--fg=PKGS

Additional Packages lists that are checked and used for resolving dependencies (can be repeated)

--bg=PKGS

Additional Packages lists that are NOT checked but used for resolving dependencies (can be repeated)

--deb-native-arch=ARCH

Native architecture ARCH

--deb-host-arch=arch

Host architecture arch. Defaults to native architecture.

--deb-foreign-archs=archs

Comma-separated foreign architectures in addition to native and host architectures.

--deb-ignore-essential

By default, installing any binary package requires the coinstallation set of all binary packages marked as Essential:yes to be installed as well. This option drops this requirement.

--optgraph

Calculate a dependency graph where each installation set contains the minimal number of unavailable binary packages.

Examples

Calculate a self-contained repository:

 zcat packages | grep-dctrl -X \( -FPackage build-essential --or -FEssential yes \) > minimal
 dose-deb-coinstall --deb-native-arch=amd64 --bg=packages --fg=minimal > minimal-amd64
 botch-bin2src --deb-native-arch=amd64 minimal-amd64 sources > minimal-src
 grep-dctrl -FArchitecture all packages > available
 botch-create-graph --deb-ignore-essential -A available --deb-native-arch=amd64 --bg sources packages minimal-src > graph.xml
 botch-buildgraph2packages graph.xml packages > min-closure
 botch-packages-union min-closure minimal-amd64 min-closure
 botch-bin2src --deb-native-arch=amd64 min-closure sources > min-closure-src
 dose-builddebcheck --deb-native-arch=amd64 min-closure min-closure-src

The self-contained repository will then be min-closure and min-closure-src.
