[ANNOUNCEMENT] New package: cygcheck-dep-1.0-1

[Mikhail Usenko]

Subject: New package - cygcheck-dep-1.0-1

Version 1.0-1 of cygcheck-dep has been uploaded.

cygcheck-dep is a bash script helping to show dependencies
for installed Cygwin packages. It can be useful if you are
trying some Cygwin's software and along the line you are
installing and uninstalling some packages and want to keep
your Cygwin's setup root directory clean of unused packages.

Is this script intended to work for Cygwin packages installed using the
Cygwin installer but not from the main package repositories (ie from
Cygwin Ports)?  The script seems to be misbehaving for me with such
packages, but if it's not designed to work with them in the first place,
I won't bother compiling a detailed bug report.

The script is designed to work with standard Cygwin distribution.
I will see about adding support for the Cygwin ports collection.

I am sorry!
This is a PCYMTNQREAIYR test.

This is GREAT!  Thanks for putting it together.  I've cleaned out over
100M of cruft.

I'd be interested in getting a more detailed explanation of the
difference between -i and -I.  The best I can tell from experiment, one
can uninstall all packages listed in an island by -i.  But the listings
of -I cannot be uninstalled because package not in the list depend on
them.  If that is correct, how does one use the information given by -I?
What can one do with it?

Thanks again,

- Barry

-I is merely for informational purposes. It shows all groups of packages with
circular dependencies (or perhaps all-to-all dependencies).
Every single package from such a group cannot be uninstalled individually,
but the whole group can be if no other packages require packages from the group.
-i shows these groups.
