Thanks Ricardo, this is similar to what we're thinking just that this uses files and the approach we're considering is symbolic links... I haven't used FreeBSD much but I think the question here is how does it maintain the +REQUIRED_BY ? Does each program edit these files and add their dependen

Great idea, I'm going to put the prototype implementation together since the prototype might be just as involved as the logic needed in Compile,RemoveProgram... The solution which includes all ideas discussed below, will show broken links for missing dependencies as well ... I will start w

Hisham, Did you disagree with the alternate location for the Dependency files and Links as well as he has described? In general, I'm pushing the links idea for dependencies for the simple reason(s) below: ...file system as package manager ...any decent package manager needs a way of tracking fo

I think this proposal is coming too close to "reimplementing a database in a filesystem." The point of using the filesystem should be to *avoid* having a special central construct just for tracking dependencies (or whatever). Ideally, there should just be one method of storing the dependencies for

similar, but 'gobo' is in the details :)... If you have the rev links in a subfolder...if the folder is deleted then the reverse dependencies are lost...the right place is /System/Links...which can be backed up as needed The primary concerns in that response are to do with 'maintaining' the li

I have a proposed solution for the Dependency issue...based on the tradition of links already deeply integrated in our beloved Gobo...presently any broken links indicate an unclean removal of a program/library etcno harm done typically yet ideally the remove program would take care of it...in t
