Package: apt Version: 0.5.28.6 Severity: wishlist "dotty" command of apt-cache is really useful, but works only for binary packages. I had the need of generating graphs of build dependencies in order to decide the proper order of uploading packages to avoid autobuilder fails for unmet build dependencies.
I wrote a script which is able to generate such graph using libapt-pkg-perl. It is available here: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-ocaml-maint/tools/build-dep-graph/build-dep-graph.pl?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 Sample output is here: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-ocaml-maint/tools/build-dep-graph/ocaml_build_deps.png?op=file&rev=0&sc=0 Still, the proper place for such a feature seems to be apt-cache itself, is it possible to add it?
