I would think its unnecessary to do a complete scan of the tree for |
| 9 |
simple additions, but rather only needed when moving/deleting/renaming |
| 10 |
packages. So, it is probably not the thing to add to repoman, but it |
| 11 |
would be nice to have a tool that would look over the whole tree. |

Perhaps even something that would tell you how a particular package (or |
| 13 |
version of a package) relates to everything else - what it depends on, |
| 14 |
what packages depend on it to build or run, etc. |
