> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-558
> Project: Mynewt
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Christopher Collins

>
> The `target dep` and `target revdep` commands only indicate package names in
> the dependency graph. It would be helpful to see what created the dependency
> in the first place. Specifically, it would be good to know if the dependency
> is "hard" (package explicitly depends on another) or "soft" (package requires
> an API; other package happens to implement that API). This is useful when
> trying to completely remove a package from a build.
> Unfortunately, this information is lost at the time dependency graphs are
> generated. Rather than use a builder's package map, dependency generation
> should operate on an intermediate form produced by the `resolve` package.
