rpmbuild-order: Order RPM packages by dependencies
The rpmbuild-order tool orders RPM packages by dependencies, so that they can be built in the correct order. It does this by reading RPM package spec files and then topologically sorts them according to their dependencies. The code originates from cabal-sort by Henning Thielemann. It can also output the ordered dependencies or reverse depends for one or more packages, provided all the packages are checked out in neighbouring directories. This is also useful to see what packages are affected when a low-level package changes.

[back to package description]
rpmbuild-order
This package based on code from cabal-sort, sorts rpm package spec files by build order.
$ rpmbuild-order --help
$ rpmbuild-order sort mycore mylib myapp
mylib
mycore
myapp
The arguments passed can either be directories named after the package, or spec files.
By default it outputs the package names, but it can also output the spec filenames or directory paths for easier scripting.
Using the rpmbuild-order deps and rdeps commands the ordered
dependencies and reverse dependencies of a package can be obtained
from the current set of checked out package sources.
Known problems
Given packages A, B, C, where C depends on B, and B depends on A, and you call
rpmbuild-order C.spec A.spec
then the output may be wrong if C does not have a direct dependency on A. Even if the order is correct, B is missing in the output and thus in this case the list of packages cannot be reliably used for a sequence of builds.
