Formal Dependency Management

Formal Dependency Management in Debian Package Repositories

In this talk we will briefly sketch the research that has been done concerning the maintenance of large package-based distributions and the formal management of inter-package dependencies, in the context of the EDOS Project.

The toolset that has been developed starting from this research will be showcased in its Debian incarnation:

  • edos-debcheck: a dependency checker for finding inconsistencies in Debian repositories.
  • edos-history: a package repository exploration tool that is able to handle historical Debian repositories data.
  • anla: a web service that reports the analysis of Debian repositories over time.
  • tart: a distribution "thinner" used to build custom Debian distributions.
