✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, meet botch-remove-virtual-disjunctions — it removes virtual dependency disjunctions 💅 she's part of the botch tools and she's literally so good at it.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

botch-remove-virtual-disjunctions [options] inPackages inSources
outPackages outSources

like, four files in, four files out, plus whatever [options] you're feeling 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the vibe, and it depends on what you're feeding her 👑

For binary packages: she removes virtual packages from disjunctions that also contain real packages. bye boo 👋

For source packages: she removes all but the first alternative of disjunctions — exactly the way sbuild does it. and why do we care?? because it lets you emulate sbuild behaviour with dependency solvers like dose3 and aspcud, which do not respect the order of dependency disjunctions 😭 (they just do not care about your ordering, bestie, so we fix it up for them).

this program is meant to modify a set of Packages and Sources files. so if you only wanna touch <em>one</em> of them, just pass /dev/null as both the input and the output for the one you don't want in the command line arguments 💖 no drama, no extra files, iconic behaviour fr fr.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --remove-nonvirtual — also removes all but the first alternative from binary packages. it's giving "same algorithm, but for binaries" ✨ — literally applies the exact same treatment to binary packages as is applied to source packages.
  • -h, --help — shows help 🫶 use it when you're lost, no shame.
  • --verbose — be verbose 👑 she'll tell you what she's doing.

💀 BUGS 💀

not me telling you to go report stuff 😭 see <http://bugs.debian.org/botch>.
