Another item: an automated dependency checker. |

|
| 3 |
It would build a file->package database from /var/db/pkg and update it |
| 4 |
whenever a request for a non-registered file is made. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
It would run ldd on all dynamic exes in CONTENTS of a requested package, find |
| 7 |
which packages the linked libraries were from and list the packages. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
With an interface to portage.py, it could caculate the DEPEND of the ebuild |
| 10 |
and list missed deps. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Also, maybe this Subterfuge can make a list of programs called by the ebuild |
| 13 |
during emerge (make, gcc, ld, perl, whatever) and look those up too. |
