14:13 <Rhonda> ibid: About grepping for dependencies, is it possible to grep for an exact package in a dependency, maybe even one that doesn't have an alternative listed? 14:14 <ibid> Rhonda: if you can write a regexp for that, probably yes 14:14 <ibid> if i understood you correctly 14:14 <ibid> Rhonda: can you give me a concrete example? 14:15 <Rhonda> ibid: I want to grep for packages that depend on apache, but not have an alternative depends on apache2. 14:19 <ibid> Rhonda: parsing dependencies is a requested feature. the big problem is relating that to my goal of making this a general-purpose tool, and also specifying the syntax for such queries 14:20 <ibid> Rhonda: on my todo is a sql-style (not necessarily using sql syntax) query tool, which would be easier to extend to handle subcontent :) 14:38 <ibid> Rhonda: basically, what it requires is some general mechanism for dealing with structured field content and various plugin (or otherwise) parsers for them 14:38 * ibid does not want to create a special-purpose parser for dep fields as a one-off
