tracking port requires
Hello, I'm trying to figure out where ports keep their dependency information, and the best way to parse it? On a Linux rpm-based system, I can do the following: Linux RPM | FreeBSD Ports | Task = rpm -qa pkg_info List all installed packages rpm -ql package pkg_info -L package List files in package rpm -qf file pkg_which file Which package does file belong to? rpm -q --requires package ? List dependencies of package rpm -q --whatrequires package ? Reverse-dependencies of package If anyone has compiled this, it would help me out. Thanks, Mike -- Michael P.

On a Linux rpm-based system, I can do the following: The dependencies themselves are stored as @pkgdep lines in the /var/db/pkg/packagename/+CONTENTS file. The reverse link is stored in /var/db/pkg/packagename/+REQUIRED_BY . You can list the dependencies with the pkg_info -r packagename command, and the packages that require a package with pkg_info -R packagename. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
