Debian Packages that Moose Depends On
Overview
Today I came across an article commenting on dependencies. The article mentioned a tool called debtree that can be used to examine the dependency tree of a debian package. Specifically, it can produce .dot files which can in turn be converted into .png .pdf etc.
I will use this tool on the Moose package that ships with Ubunbtu 9.04 to what packages Moose depends on. This results are related to another article on Moose dependencies
Picture the Dependent Packages
We’ll use debtree and dot to create a picture of the libmoose-perl package dependencies.
Create the .dot using debtree
debtree --no-recommends --no-alternatives --no-versions libmoose-perl > moose.dot
Create the .pdf from the .dot
dot -T pdf -o moose.pdf moose.dot
The Result
Here is the PDF result
