💖 BOTCH-ANNOTATE-STRONG 💖

okay bestie, so this is the botch-annotate-strong(1) page from the botch tools manual, and it's genuinely so much more fun than it sounds, i promise 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

botch-annotate-strong — it adds strong dependency info to a dependency graph. that's the whole job. it's giving "quietly doing the most important thing in the room" energy 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

botch-annotate-strong [options] buildgraph.xml srcgraph.xml Packages
Sources

that's it. four positional arguments, and they are not optional, so line them up like a little squad 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — this tool annotates buildgraph.xml and srcgraph.xml with strong dependency information. not weak, not situationship, strong. 💪

the strong dependencies get calculated for both binary and source packages, and it pulls all that from the info you hand it in Packages and Sources. that's it. no cap. 🌈

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here come the flags, bestie, and there are a lot of them, but we're getting through every single one together 🫶

  • --version — shows the program's version and then dips out. exit stage left. 🚪
  • -h, --help — shows this help message and bails. your classic "what do i do here" button. 🙈
  • -v, --verbose — prints additional info, because sometimes you want the whole story, not just the headline. 💬
  • --quiet — do not print any messages. silence. iconic. shhh. 🤫
  • --deb-drop-b-d-indep — drops Build-Depends-Indep dependencies. gone. bye. 💀
  • --deb-drop-b-d-arch — drops Build-Depends-Arch dependencies. also gone. ✂️
  • --deb-native-arch=arch — sets the native architecture to arch. 🏠
  • --deb-host-arch=arch — sets the host architecture to arch. defaults to the native architecture if you don't say otherwise. 🏡
  • --deb-foreign-archs=archs — comma-separated foreign architectures, in addition to the native and host architectures. so it's additive, not a replacement, okay? 🌍
  • --bg=Packages — extra Packages lists that are checked and used for resolving dependencies. you can repeat this one as many times as your heart desires. 🔁
  • --fg=Packages — extra Packages lists that are NOT checked but are used for resolving dependencies. repeat-friendly too. 👀
ngl the --bg vs --fg distinction is the sneaky one — one gets checked, one doesn't, but both get used for resolving. don't mix them up or it's over for you. 😭
