Hi,
After a certain amount of head-desking when various things didn't work,
I'm finally happy enough with my improved auto-hinter functionality for
britney that I thought it should be in the BTS for others to pull
apart^W^Wcomment on.
Essentially, starting from each "leaf" package in terms of excuses it
recursively builds a list of the forward and reverse dependencies of
each package encountered, assuming they are valid candidates.
A list of such package lists is built up and processed to remove any
lists which are subsets of another list, before trying each hint in
turn.
By way of a test, for a britney run seeded with the output of this
morning's live run the code found seven potential hints, of which two
were successful.
Regards,
Adam
