Lately I have been trying to make a dependency resolver for Gentoo. Meaning I want do deduce the runtime dependencies from the installed files, and check them against the dependencies denoted in the packet. This is in response to numerous comments I have gotten about running emerge --depclean and complainining about broken dependencies later.
It is my opinion that depclean should work, and if it doesn't then there is a dependency problem in the packet system. Anyway, as I'm developing this program, I'm discovering a lot of minor bugs in the Gentoo system along the way. At the moment I'm counting 546 bugs out of which some are probably false postives, but a large number are actual bugs. The number is also expected to change as I'm currently supressing a lot of obvious bugs. I have also not mapped the bugs to particular packages yet, as I plan to do, but at any rate it seems likely there will be a large number to report. How do I go ahead with this? Should I write a script to file every single bug into the bugzilla system? Best regards -- Tom Fredrik Blenning Klaussen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- [email protected] mailing list
