BOTCH-BUILD-FIXPOINT

NAME

botch-build-fixpoint - find build order until dependency cycles occur

SYNOPSIS

botch-build-fixpoint [options] --available=AvailablePackages Packages..
Sources

DESCRIPTION

Given a list of source packages Sources, return the list of binary packages that can be built without having to break a dependency cycle. The algorithm repeatedly attempts to satisfy build dependencies of all source packages using the available binary packages from AvailablePackages and adds the binary packages of those source packages that satisfy their build dependencies to the set of available binary packages.

OPTIONS

--version

show program’s version and exit

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

-v, --verbose

print additional information

--quiet

do no print any messages

-A, --available=AvailablePackages

List of available packages (arch:all, crossed...) in control file format (setting this argument is required). Packages in this list have to be part of Packages.

--deb-drop-b-d-indep

Drop Build-Depends-Indep dependencies

--deb-drop-b-d-arch

Drop Build-Depends-Arch dependencies

--allowsrcmismatch

If a binary package is without a source package but there is a source package of same name but different version, match this binary package to that source package.

--output-order= FILE

instead of stderr, write the calculated build order to this file.

--fg= PKGS

Additional Packages lists that are checked and used for resolving dependencies (can be repeated)

--bg= PKGS

Additional Packages lists that are NOT checked but used for resolving dependencies (can be repeated)

-o, --outfile= FILE

Set the output file FILE

--deb-native-arch= ARCH

Native architecture ARCH

--deb-host-arch=arch

Host architecture arch. Defaults to native architecture.

--deb-foreign-archs=archs

Comma-separated foreign architectures in addition to native and host architectures.

EXAMPLE

Calculate the source packages that can be built in a given state:

botch-build-fixpoint --deb-native-arch=amd64 --available packages-arch-all --output-order=order.lst packages sources
