I'm trying to bullet-proof my kernel maint. Right now, I see the following dependency cascade:
linux-2.4.19 requires glibc-2.2.5 requires gcc-3.2 requires binutils-2.12.90.0.15 requires gettext-0.11.5 I stumbled onto the gettext req when running the lot on a couple of systems where we neglected to install it from the distro. (Worth noting, along with a bazillion other reqs like shells!) What else might be omitted? (naughty!) The tool chain appears to fork: strace-4.4 requires gdb-5.2.1 requires glibc-2.2.5 ... and so on ... where both the kernel and GDB need GLIBC but do not depend on each other (and 'strace' needs GDB?). It's been *months* since I twiddled this. So I'm checking my work, making a list. ("and checking it twice!") Thoughts? Thanks!
