Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : germinate Version : 0.12 Upstream Author : Scott James Remnant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeedManagement * License : GPL Programming Lang: Python Description : Expand dependencies in a list of seed packages
Germinate takes lists of seed packages and expands their dependencies to produce a full list of packages. This can be used for purposes such as managing the list of packages present in a derived distribution's archive or CD builds. We wrote this program for Ubuntu originally to work out how much we could fit on a single CD, but it's now used as an important part of the Ubuntu archive and CD image building processing, including deciding what packages end up in our main component and which in universe. There are some Ubuntu-specific bits in it but they're mostly in the form of default configuration options. I hadn't thought it was worth uploading this to Debian before, but Gustavo Franco asked me to package this for Debian (for Utnubu, I gather), so I don't see why not.
