All,

On 2014-05-07 00:44 +0200, Yann E. MORIN spake thusly:
> From: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998 at free.fr>
> 
> Currently, all the dependencies of a package are drawn on the dependency
> graph, including transitive dependencies (e.g. A->B->C and A->C).
> 
> Very big graphs, with lots of packages with lots of dependencies, the
> dependency graph can be very dense, and transitive dependencies are
> cluttering the graph.
> 
> In some cases, only getting the "build-order" dependencies is enough (e.g.
> to see what impact a package rebuild would have).
> 
> Add a new environment variable to disable drawing transitive dependencies.

I've marked it as Changes Requested in PAtchwork, since I have a cleaner
patch to come soon, with other cleanups in the graph-depends script.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
