I'm new to macports and experimenting with it. To that end, I was wondering if there is a simple way to list all dependencies recursively in macports. For example, the standard 'macports deps foo' command does not list the deps of the deps. I found a perl script that does something similar in nature here: http:// lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-users/2007-April/002481.html
But, I mean, who wants to run perl scripts instead of a port command? :)
I have a PHP script to do the same, and generate a graphviz graph out of it. There's no built-in command in port.
Though I do think it would be cool if there were a port command which would compute the dependencies recursively and output them as a textual tree (with indented lines, say). Also, I'd like a second port command which would output the dependency graph in graphviz dot format. And maybe even a way to have graphviz open that into a window so you could see it. Alas, that's not here yet, and there are probably more important things we should be working on.
