[Slackbuilds-users] sbodeps: heretically convenient dependency resolution for sbopkg

[Martijn Dekker]

Announcing sbodeps: a heretically convenient dependency resolver for sbopkg.

It doesn't require generating and storing queue files in advance.
Instead, it very quickly (roughly 100 times as fast as sqg[*]) does the
dependency resolution for one or more packages on demand, and then
(given -i) simply passes them to sbopkg on the command line as multiple
-i arguments, in a correct build order, without involving a queue file
at all.

By default, if given only one or more package names, it outputs a build
queue to standard output, but it can also store them. For installing a
package and its dependencies while skipping the queue altogether, simply
type "sbodeps -i mypackage" instead of "sbopkg -i mypackage". (And there
is your rpm/deb-style automated dependency resolution. Blasphemy,
right?) It also supports removing a package and its dependencies, with
an appropriate warning. It's got a -h/--help option that explains the
options.

Perhaps someone will enjoy this. I might like to tweak this some more if
anyone has ideas or wishes. Please send me any suggestions for
improvement, or just fork it and hack away.
