I realise that if two packages built from the same source are used,
then there may be duplication in the output. It's not an error, but
it would be nicer if that weren't the case. Here is an improved
version of the whole function.
sub builtUsing {
my ( %res, %seen );
my $nodePaths = nodepathNoError( 0, ( $_[0] // 1 ), keys %$BUILTUSING );
map {
my ( $pkg, $version, $err );
if ( $pkg = $nodePaths->{$_}->[0] ) {
eval {
unless ( $seen{$pkg} ) {
spawn(
exec => [
'dpkg-query', '--showformat=${Version},${Source}',
'--show', $pkg,
],
wait_child => 1,
to_string => \$version_source,
error_to_string => \$err,
);
chomp $version_source;
my @vs = split /,/, $version_source;
# Source is empty if the binary package has the same name
$vs[1] ||= $pkg;
$res{$vs[1]} = $vs[0];
$seen{$pkg} = 1;
debug("Add $vs[1] (= $vs[0]) in \${nodejs:BuiltUsing}");
}
};
}
} keys %$BUILTUSING;
return join( ',', map { "$_ (= $res{$_})" } sort keys %res );
}
Best wishes,
Julian
