Hi all. I was looking for a way to do a couple of things with pacman that may be useful, mainly for package maintainers. Maybe they can already be done and I just didn't find out how. I used to use pt-deptree, but it hasn't been working for quite some time now. The first one is finding all the packages that directly depend on a specific package, even if they're not installed. This came to my mind considering those upgrades which break other software, like x264 and tcl/tk (8.5 has just been released): it could be a lot easier to test if all packages work properly with the new version or if it is necessary to rebuild them. Second, I often find myself looking for package dependencies along the tree, because I need to know, given two packages, if one of the two depends on the other or not. This is good when I'm deciding which dependencies should be put in a package, becuase the cycle edit-makepkg-namcap is sometimes impractical when the package has a lot of dependencies. Is anybody able to help? TIA, Corrado
