Steven was looking at the second graph which (in contrast to the first graph) makes the assumption that essential:yes and build-essential are already available somehow (for example by having cross compiled them) and thus do not need to be recompiled to bootstrap the port. gcj and gcc-4.8 is part of the packages which are drawn in by creating a co-installation set of essential:yes and build-essential packages. Therefore they do not appear in the second graph. Since this co-installation set is an input to the algorithm of creating the second graph, they implicitly receive the highest rank. For the same reason you will also see them being assigned the highest rank in the first graph which does not assume that essential:yes and build-essential do not have to be recompiled. Implicit dependency relationships are considered by both algorithms to calculate the strong dependencies and the dependency closure of source and binary packages. My code uses dose3 to do the required calculations. cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
