Hi! I'm wondering if anyone's written a script that looks deep into the build dependencies of some package foo, and gives you a list of ebuilds you need to unmask to build it. Immediate build dependencies could easily be shown using the ebuild itself, and deep dependencies could be shown using equery something, but I just want to focus on dependencies you need to unmask when building.
I usually just manually iterate through emerge -uDNtav world/something to make something like that happen, and it's just hit me that this sounds like a chore that's bound to have bugged someone. I'm not looking for a tool that writes my package.keywords/* for me, I'd like to do that myself, but the iteration process is more painful than it should be "manually". If there's none I was wondering what kinds of challenges would it take to write one in python as that sounds like a cool exercise to try out. -- This email is: [ ] actionable [ ] fyi [x] social Response needed: [ ] yes [x] up to you [ ] no Time-sensitive: [ ] immediate [ ] soon [x] none
