Getting a list of dependencies which have to be installed ?
Hey..., Is there a utility to display the dependencies of a port which have yet to be installed ? I know you can get a complete dependency list on freebsd.org/ports , pkg_info -r or just looking in the files in the ports dir. But is there a command to display only the dependencies which haven't been installed on your system yet ? I also looked at pkg_add -n but it immediately starts fetching the packages needed. I don't want to start downloading the complete package just because I want a list of ports I haven't installed yet. Or is the only way making a diff between the pkg_info -r output and your pkg_info -a ? If so : Is there a way to tell pkg_info when using the -r flag on a not-yet-installed-port to only get a list of the dependencies instead of downloading the complete package ? Or is there just an other utility which can display this information which I'm not aware of ?

I don't know of a utility that does that function. Like you, I often
want to know what I'm committing to when installing a new port so I
wrote a small script to do just that:
what_do_i_need.sh
=
#!/bin/sh
#titleList needed ports not already installed/title
portsdir=`make -V PORTSDIR`
pkgdbdir=`make -V PKG_DBDIR`
indexfile=`make -V INDEXFILE`
origin_list=`pwd` `make all-depends-list`
for origin in ${origin_list}; do
# echo ORIGIN: ${origin}
pkg_name=`grep |${origin}| ${portsdir}/${indexfile} \
| cut -d | -f 1`
padding=$(( 50 - `echo ${origin} | wc -c` +1))
if [ ! -e ${pkgdbdir}/${pkg_name} ]; then
printf NEED: ${origin}%${padding}c${pkg_name}\n
fi
done
=
Put it in your path somewhere, chmod to executable and use like:
# cd xawtv
# what_do_i_need.sh
NEED: /usr/ports/multimedia/xawtv xawtv-3.95_1
NEED: /usr/ports/x11-fonts/tv-fonts tv-fonts-1.1
It will only list the needed ports butyou can modify it to do as
you want. Its probably a wise idea to make sure all ports have
been updated to match your ports tree.
HTH,
Randy

Thanks in advance,
I needed this functionality, so I wrote a script... and sent it to the
list for thoughts and opinions. After a few folks chipped in... this is
what we had.
Try the following (mind any wrapping):
#! /bin/sh
# Script to determine the differences between what is necessary for
# a port, and what is already present on the local machine.
awkprgt='{
count = 0
pkgs =
for(i=5; i=NF-2; i++) {
pkg = $i
# the if is here to hack it around when you get:
# This port requires package(s) to build.
if (pkg != \\) {
if (index(pkg, \) == 1)
{pkg = substr(pkg, 2, length(pkg)-1)}
if (index(pkg, \) 1)
{pkg = substr(pkg, 1, length(pkg)-1)}
if ( system(pkg_info -e pkg) == 1) {
pkgs = pkgs pkg
count++
}
}
}
if ( count ) {
printf You need the following %d (%typ) perequisites:, count
print pkgs
}
else {
print All (%typ) prerequisites are present.
}
}
END {
# triggered, eg., by audio/artswrapper (on my box, at least)
if( ! FNR) {
print Bogus (empty) %s dependency information
}
}
'
awkit() {
# Resolve %s-s via sed is a blunt hack
# but good enough here and thus we don't have
# to care about the number of occurrences
awk `echo $awkprgt | sed s/%typ/$1/g`
}
make pretty-print-build-depends-list | awkit build
make pretty-print-run-depends-list | awkit run
### End Script
HTH. I use it all the time.

Hi Frank, It's not exactly what you want but at least it contains what you want: portmanager -s displays the status of each port including missing dependencies.
