BOTCH-GRAPH-SOURCES(1)

✨ BOTCH-GRAPH-SOURCES ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the botch-graph-sources page 💖 this is part of the botch tools and it's literally the girl who finds all the sources (aka vertices with no predecessors, like, the ones with zero drama coming at them) in a graph that's either GraphML or dot format 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

botch-graph-sources [options] [ingraph] [outgraph]

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so what she does is: extract the subgraph of all the sources — that's every vertex that has no predecessors — out of the input graph. iconic behavior honestly 👑

if either of the positional arguments gets skipped (or both, no judgment), then she reads GraphML or dot from standard input and/or writes GraphML or dot to standard output respectively. and if you pass a - as either argument, that's you explicitly saying "read the input from standard input" and "write the output to standard output" respectively. very direct, we love a clear communicator 💅

the input graph type? determined automatically, no input needed from you. but if the output graph is given as a filename, then the output type is GraphML when the filename ends with .xml, and dot when it ends with .dot. and if the output is happening on standard output, then it happens in the same format as the input graph. cute, consistent, slay ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — display help. your girl is here to explain herself 🫶
• -v, --verbose — be verbose. spill the tea, tell us everything 🗣️

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

let's find all source packages that build depend on "texlive-binaries:amd64 (=2015.20150524.37493-5)". yes, that exact string, no cap.

using package selection and reverse dependency cone computation by ceve:

dose-ceve -r "texlive-binaries:amd64 (= 2015.20150524.37493-5)" --deb-native-arch=amd64 -G pkg -T grml deb://Packages debsrc://Sources \
        | botch-graph-sources - - \
        | botch-graph2text - "{realpackage} (= {realversion})" --vertex type:src \
        | sort

using package selection and ancestor vertex computation by botch:

dose-ceve --deb-native-arch=amd64 -G pkg -T grml deb://Packages debsrc://Sources \
        | botch-graph-ancestors - - --target realpackage:texlive-binaries:amd64 realversion:2015.20150524.37493-5 \
        | botch-graph-sources - - \
        | botch-graph2text - "{realpackage} (= {realversion})" --vertex type:src \
        | sort

💀 BUGS 💀

see <http://bugs.debian.org/botch>. yeah, it's giving bug tracker, but that's where the lore lives 😭
