Description

A request to list all kind of dependencies seems to be very common. After a discussion we've come up with a proposal to create --depends and --whatdepends options with a similar meaning as --requires/--whatrequires which will include all types of dependencies (hard, weak and very weak). FTR (I learned that today) there was a bug 84176 where 'rpm --whatdepends' was also proposed (with a slightly different semantics). CCing RPM maintainer as implementing this option differently in RPM/DNF could cause confusion. The way I see it, --depends/whatdepends as a name for a selector for all the dependency variants seems remarkably sane. Never mind bug 84176, that happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. And like with --whatrequires etc, whether the dependency tokens are actually resolved to providing packages should be another switch (eg --alldeps/exactdeps or whatever the exact names were). ok, we will do that. Thanks for opinion I created a patch (https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/960) that provides requested functionality. The issue is solved by dnf-3.0.1-1 that was released into rawhide. |
