Feature changed by: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil)
Feature #305595, revision 4
  Title: Show dependencies between packages in repo
   
  Buildservice: Evaluation
  Priority
      Requester: Important
   
  Requested by: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak)
   
Description:
  * Show dependencies (Requires, BuildRequires) between packages in
  repository
  OBS should provide lists of required packages (runtime and build
  dependencies) - BuildRequires could be extracted from spec files - it
  is important to show also reverse dependencies (eg. which packages
  depend on the package I'm maintaining) - Requires are much harder (will
  probably need also symbol resolution), but not so desperately needed as
  BuildRequires

  Hmm, sounds good to me. But I'd like some Project Manager feedback as
  well especially in the direction how usefull/needed it is and how much
  effort it would take to implement. For now I'm pretty neutral to this
  feature.
   
  #2: Michal Vyskocil (mvyskocil) (2009-08-26 09:20:17) (reply to #1)
  Without this feature it's hard to decide if any package can be dropped
  from Factory. Pdb tracked at least BuildRequires.
  Those data should be easily gathered from final source rpm/rpm, because
  parsing of a spec file is not very easy task.

+ There is osc whatdependson and dependson, so it can be closed.
