Bug#435794: packages.qa.debian.org: please add reverse depends
[Raphael Hertzog 2007-08-03] Adding reverse build-dependencies should be easy as everything is generated based on the Sources files. It would be a great start, to have an idea about the impact when thinking about changing or adopting a package by just looking at packages.qa.debian.org. :) However, reverse dependencies on binaries is going to be a lot more complicated... as it depends on the architecture, and you'll have to download and parse the Packages files (which is currently not done). And selecting a single arch and hoping that the rest is in sync will at least create problems on some arch-specific packages. What about listing binary dependencies individually and showing in which architecture they are used, for example like this * hostname [amd64 i386] * binutils [i386] Can the CDD be used to extract this information? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

user [EMAIL PROTECTED] usertags 435794 + pts ddpo thanks Re: Raphael Hertzog 2007-08-03 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Adding reverse build-dependencies should be easy as everything is generated based on the Sources files. Adding support for http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?packages=rev-dep:foo and friends to DDPO shouldn't be too hard. I'll think about it.
