Check out http://www.tu-ilmenau.de/~gomar/stuff/vcheck/. The perl
script just calls a program called 'vcheck' to make it easier to
know which packages are in need of updating. It is our way to
KISS, but I don't think it will help you with the dependencies. To
do a build world or whatever like you want, we have another perl
script called src2make which generates a makefile for building
OpenPKG packages unattended and in the right order. However, this
script is half broken at the time. I'm going to fix it as soon as
we can get the bootstrapper working perfectly for the upcoming
OpenPKG 1.1 release. One thing just follows another, as you can
see.

The intention of OpenPKG is to offer release quality packages as a
whole environment to pick and choose from. This happened once with
OpenPKG 1.0 and will happen again with OpenPKG 1.1, at which time
you can download from release/1.1/SRC instead of current/SRC. The
latter directory is intended for testing and keeping up to date
inbetween OpenPKG releases. If things go as we hope the interval
of development between releases will shrink soon, making the
'current'-grade packages less needed. In any case, you will see
packages there from multiple versions, dates, and even qualities
(check out the field 'Distribution' in OpenPKG .spec files -
sometimes it is REL and sometimes EXP).
