💖 BOTCH-CREATE-GRAPH 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for botch-create-graph — one of the botch tools — and I'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am, except every single fact is staying exactly where it is. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

botch-create-graph — create graph based on installation sets, strong dependency sets or dependency closures 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

botch-create-graph [options] Packages.. Sources

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically: you hand it a repository of source packages and binary packages, and it creates the build graph and the source graph for it. that's the whole vibe. iconic. ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --version — show the program's version and dip 💨
  • -h, --help — show this help message and exit 🫶
  • -v, --verbose — print additional information, like, more talking 👀
  • --quiet — do no print any messages. silence. the quiet luxury of it all 💅
  • -A, --available=FILE — a list of available packages (arch:all, crossed...) in control file format
  • --custom-is=FILE — list of files with dependencies that should not be part of the IS
  • --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 has no source package but there is a source package of the same name with a different version, match this binary package to that source package 👑
  • --progress — print progress bars 📊
  • --timers — print timing information ⏱️
  • --strongtype — generate a strong build graph (only strong dependencies) 💪
  • --closuretype — generate a dependency closure build graph (all dependency relationships) 🔗
  • --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 are used for resolving dependencies (can be repeated) 🔁
  • --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 🌈
  • --deb-ignore-essential — by default, installing any binary package requires the coinstallation set of all binary packages marked Essential:yes to be installed as well. this option drops that requirement. 🙈
  • --optgraph — calculate a dependency graph where each installation set contains the minimal number of unavailable binary packages 💀

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

calculate a self-contained repository:

zcat packages | grep-dctrl -X \( -FPackage build-essential --or -FEssential yes \) > minimal
dose-deb-coinstall --deb-native-arch=amd64 --bg=packages --fg=minimal > minimal-amd64
botch-bin2src --deb-native-arch=amd64 minimal-amd64 sources > minimal-src
grep-dctrl -FArchitecture all packages > available
botch-create-graph --deb-ignore-essential -A available --deb-native-arch=amd64 --bg sources packages minimal-src > graph.xml
botch-buildgraph2packages graph.xml packages > min-closure
botch-packages-union min-closure minimal-amd64 min-closure
botch-bin2src --deb-native-arch=amd64 min-closure sources > min-closure-src
dose-builddebcheck --deb-native-arch=amd64 min-closure min-closure-src

the self-contained repository will then be min-closure and min-closure-src. slay. ✨
