Hi,
i'd like to show the problem of dependency and (re-)making packages (or
files)
based on other packages to some collegues.
I wonder if there is some standardised way to display this in a
graphical way?
The best i could think of is "Activity charts" in UML.
Is there some better way to describe graphically what GNU make does?
A directed acyclic graph rendered in graphviz sounds like a better fit to me
...
And some work has been done in this direction. I don't remember the name
of the package or where I read about it (here?) but there is a piece of
free SW which will read a Makefile and render the DAG using graphviz. I
set it up once - it was not a finished product, more of a nice start.
You could probably dig it up with the right search terms.
