Feature changed by: Jean-Daniel Dodin (jdd) Feature #309579, revision 5 Title: Dependency tree in zypper summary Hackweek V: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Ján Kupec (jkupec) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Visualize dependencies of packages (from the installation summary or given on command line) using colored (by type of dependency - recommends, requires, etc) ASCII tree/graph. The feature can be enabled in the info command (zypper info --dep-tree package) and in the installation summary prompt (in which case it would show the graph from the requested packages via all the to-be-installed ones, ending with the installed ones). This feature is meant to be kept simple, and leave more complex analysis to other tools (FATE 309572).
