depfinder

[Jack]

I found this packages "depfinder" it finds dep fast. What I like for it to do is do a directory at one time and not a fine at a time. Can someone tell me how to write a script or write it for me?

Very interesting package, jack. Thanks a lot.

depfinder would have been developped by pagan, one of the administrator of salix os. See the link, citation:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/depfinder/

depfinder reports the dependencies of Slackware packages. It is faster than previous tools used for the same purpose and even has support for utilizing multiple CPUs/cores

How hard would it be to write a script to go with depfinder to find all the dependencies in a directory?

Useful little tool.

Copy the following into a script called getdeps.sh

#!/bin/bash

if [ `find $1 -type f|egrep ".txz|.tgz"|wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then
echo "No packages found!!"
exit
fi

for a in `find $1 -type f|egrep ".tgz|.txz"`; do
depfinder $a
done

Imagine I have some packages in /tmp/myfolder. I would put this script in /usr/bin and then simply type:

getdeps.sh /tmp/myfolder

Keep in mind you can type getde[TAB] ## [TAB] here means just type the first few letters and then hit the TAB key to autocomplete the script name.

I can find grep but not egrep can anyone help?

[francois]

Please jack, let's put in a little autonomy:

google egrep:

egrep is the same as grep -e

This is a switch to tell 'grep' that you will feed it a regex pattern. Normally you can only grep one thing. For example to find two types of word documents on a disk

find /mnt/sda2/User/john/Documents -type f | egrep ".doc|.docx"
| | | |
| | | |
Search The path of type 'file' regex pattern
