Hello,

I remember that there was a tool to show graphically the package
dependencies. Did I dream? If not, where is it?

rpmgraph shows you the runtime dependencies that are in the rpm. Notably,
rpmbuild does not figure out shell script dependencies, so that is missing.
(But it could with a little work by scanning installed packages for shell
scripts and running bash --rpm-requires $TARGET).

I also wrote a utility for the rookery build system that captures the build
time dependencies suitable for graphing which is a little different than
runtime. This was to allow analysis of code or subsystem changes to see what
might be affected.

It'd be nice to see a graph of dependencies in pirut, see what things
are at the tip of branches that nothing depends on that could be
removed.

Building such a graph is... non-trivial and shouldn't be done on the
fly.

That said, there is some of the logic in package-cleanup --leaves and
package-cleanup --leaves --all

If it could be built and saved as an addition to the rpm database perhaps...
might it be faster to 'check' or correct such a graph later so it doesn't need
to be built on the fly at all?
