BOTCH-MULTIAR...PRETER-PROBLEM(1)

💖 BOTCH-MULTIARCH-INTERPRETER-PROBLEM 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to botch-multiarch-interpreter-problem, a lil tool from the botch tools collection and honestly? it's giving detective energy 🔍✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

botch-multiarch-interpreter-problem — find all arch:all packages that allow switching architectures 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

botch-multiarch-interpreter-problem [-h] [-v] graph.xml

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So you hand this program a package graph, and it hands you back a page — plain text format, no frills — listing every Architecture:all package that is NOT Multi-Arch:foreign and that sits on a dependency path between two Architecture:any packages. no cap, that's the whole gig 👑

More precisely (because we love precision in this house 💜): dose-ceve creates a graph where the nodes are binary packages and source packages, and the edges are their dependency and provides relationships. This program prints all nodes (or packages) that fulfill these criteria:

• the package is not Multi-Arch:foreign 🙅
• the package is Architecture:all
• the package has a (possibly transitive) predecessor in the dependency graph that is either an Architecture:any binary package or a source package that builds Architecture:any packages
• the package has a (possibly transitive) successor in the dependency graph that is Architecture:any and not Multi-Arch:foreign. lowkey important: traversal of the successors stops at Multi-Arch:foreign packages 🛑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -v, --verbose — be verbose. spill the tea, tell me everything 🗣️
• -h, --help — print help message. the classic cry for help, we've all been there 🫶
• --packages — Packages file to retrieve binary package size 📦
• -H, --html — output HTML document with additional statistics 📊✨

---

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

okay so listen, there's a vibe check here and it's important:

The graph created by dose-ceve must not contain Build-Depends-Indep dependencies because source packages do not have to be cross-built to create their Architecture:all packages. These can always be retrieved by native compilation.

Also:

The graph does not have to include builds-from relationships because the Architecture field of source packages is used to determine whether a source package builds Architecture:any binary packages.

Now the actual run, bestie:

dose-ceve --deb-drop-b-d-indep --deb-native-arch=amd64 -G pkg -T grml deb://Packages.gz debsrc://Sources.gz > graph.xml
botch-multiarch-interpreter-problem --packages=Packages.gz graph.xml > out.html
w3m out.html

and boom, you're browsing your own lil html report in w3m 💖 (iconic honestly)
