Thanks for testing this! One limitation appears to be that this only works for applications, not for libraries. This could be a problem for us. We don’t really need this urgently for applications if we automatically generate shell wrappers (as we do for Python executables). It would be interesting to know if this could be used for libraries as well, so that the application in the end does not need to know about all transitive dependencies, but only its first-level dependencies. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
