My first idea was to define a target named 'show-all-depends', but that name is already used as part of 'show-all'. Therefore I suggest 'show-depends-all'.Hi, Roland! Please, not that name, though. Not that there's anything wrong with it on its own, but this would make for two targets that only differ in the order of two words, and I think most people would not be able to remember which is which.Makes sense. My preferred name would have been 'show-all-transitive', but there is already prior art in the form of 'fetch-list-recursive', which also uses _DEPENDS_WALK_CMD, so I went with 'show-all-recursive'.Oops, I made some typos in the above paragraph. Of course, I meant 'show-depends-transitive' and 'show-depends-recursive'. In the code, I used the correct names.
Is there a way to create for every package in pkgsrc a package-name-depends list that I may store on my machine for when I need to find the dependentcies. I guess a pre-view? I would then know in advance which packages need building to get a desired application like Java. Even better, doing so in order would reduce build failures that are hard to track down because of an issue in an earlier build.
