Hello, |
2 |
My name is Leal, i'm working in my graduation monograph, |
3 |
and the subject is "GNU/Linux Distribution's application |
4 |
management software". Initially, I'm testing two distros... |
5 |
Debian and Gentoo. After that, i will try out fedora. I know |
6 |
Debian, but with gentoo i have found some "problems", and i'm |
7 |
asking you help, to make my work as right as possible. One of |
8 |
my principal tasks is determine how much dependences a package |
9 |
have. With "qpkg" i have got that informations for my installed |
10 |
gentoo system, but the "SYSTEM PROFILE" confuses me. Some packages |
11 |
have as dependence the word "SYSTEM PROFILE" that is not a package, |
12 |
but too many of them... So i have created a "fake" package "SYSTEM-PROFILE |
13 |
" to my tasks... The question is: There is a manner to extract the |
14 |
informations that i want, whithout this SYSTEM PROFILE? |
15 |
Well, in my opinion this procedure used by gentoo is "confuse" because |
16 |
creates global dependence. In production environments, the information |
17 |
about packages dependences (exactly) is essential. If one software |
18 |
dependes on libc6, i want to know that, and don't want know that it |
19 |
depends on SYSTEM PROFILE. In my home page have "graphs" and text files, |
20 |
take a look and tell me if gentoo give a tool to get the informations |
21 |
that i want: Especifics depends. |
22 |
Thanks!! |
