Hi, just a dumb idea which came up when I thought about the possible content of a "core"-book or such: Could it be possible to generate a list of packages which are most used as depedencies by other packages? That is as the other way round as looking at a package for which other packages are used as dependency but which packages are using this particular package as (required) dependency. I've no idea whether such an analysis would bring useful information.
So i think about a result of something like "libthis is used by 123 other packages, but libthat is used by 2." So, the libthis could be a candidate for the core, the libthat not so much. -- Thomas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
