#38381 new enhancement

RFE: pseudo-portnames `depof:` and `rdepof:` should be more granular

Reported by: cooljeanius (Eric Gallager) Owned by: macports-tickets@…

Description

What I mean is I want to be able to do something like port echo lib_depof:foo or port echo lib_rdepof:foo to get just the (recursive) library dependencies of port foo. This would be useful for my port-depcheck.sh script so I can have it not list build dependencies as unnecessary dependencies.

There's already port deps --no-build foo which is a shortcut for port info --pretty --depends_lib --depends_run foo so you could customize the port info invocation further. But it would be nice to have it as a pseudo-port.

or port echo lib_rdepof:foo

That functionality would be good to have.

You probably want --line rather than --pretty if you're parsing the output.

port info prints full path-style dependencies when they're used, is there a way to get just the portnames when path-style dependencies are used? Preferably without too many pipes through cut and tr...

(currently I'm trying port info --line --depends_lib foo | tr \, \\n | cut -d: -f2)

There are plenty of ways.

% port info --line --depends_build fish | tr ',' '\n' | awk -F ':' '{ print $NF; }'

Thanks; I guess I'll use this for now, but it'd still be a lot easier if there were a pseudo-portname that I could use instead of having to know awk...
