Downloaddepend order install list ; doil-10.0.1
* works in Debian OS dpkg packaging (perhaps templates can be hackd for other)
* doil is like dpkg + dselect but with mini txt menu + conflict resolver, quick. all in one yet small , hackable!
* doil uses new capability of using gdeptrace (dep-trace) which orders things by all dependancies and acts in that order (not just on dependancies listed for 1 pkg). for one thing that means "remove and re-install all related" can work right. see manual for why else total depends do change order. at time of writing no other tool in BSD, debian, etc did total depends except by tsort which how used was wrong.
* has ability to do work for src pkg, like git/apt-get -s but more, but is not fully implemented due to disperate pkging rules etc
NEWS!
* big improvements since 9
* more likely packaging (using automake)
* real darn close to beta !
(doil was examples/ in dep-trace)
Features
- ** Debian may install 850 pkgs at once but always orderless : sometimes order helps / is needed.
- bsd / mac / rh are using tsort for ports where dep-trace is more correct, dt is non-topological solve is why
- ** It can be difficult re-installing "all related": dep ordered lists can (see doil dpkg installer in examples/)
- ** "show-all" in examples/ shows dendant ordering of /var/lib/dpkg/available or status (all 35,000 pkgs)
- ** in progress: dpkg-source -x can get mult. src pkgs but does not know compile order: it's dep. order.
- examples/show-all shows total dep ord of Debian Source, avail, status
- examples/doil can remove, install, unpack, config, download (can rdep all)
- doil does the above in total dep ord which dpkg cannot do alone, dep-trace
- NEW: doil mini "select pkg from ORs" (not in dpkg) pre-filters out Conflicts
- (no gui Conflicts resolver) pyramid: choose by remaining non-conflict or restart all choices
- NEW: doil -W as hobby option does dpkg job itself, and u can edit it
- NEW: doil has many fixes and new features and utilities
- NEW NEW: doil can now filter impossible tasks (ie, in status but not avail)
- (this mean NO fails/complaints after deps checked / during installing !)
- (none theoretically, and preinst is counted as warning - nowadays is right)
- doil can now juggle avail/status old new ver, file.deb names +SUPERSEDE
- SUPERCEEDING is now by mere presence in cache/ you can easily admin
- *** very close to being beta ! ***
