Free dependencies software for linux

Depends project is a generic dependency tracker in C++.

The educational purpose of Depends

Much of Depends is its documentation: it explains in much detail how the dependency tracker is implemented and should be clear enough for any programmer to understand both how it is implemented and how to implement one themselves.

The productivity purpose of Depends

The Depends class implements a complete dependency tracker and an associative container for any given value-type and can be used as-is without any real knowledge of how it is implemented. From a productivity point of view, the extra documentation may be a plus, but is certainly not necessary.

When was Depends created?

The very first version of Depends was created for the Jail, which is still very much in its experimental stages at the time of this writing. The dependency tracker, however, took on a life of its own and was improved, debugged, and eventually used for at least one production application I am aware of so far. Part of its life was spent in my "petri-dish": the Developers Corner. It finally re-appeared on SourceForge as its own project on Aug. 8th 2007, where it is now.

Why was Depends created?

For one of the experiments I did on Jail, not all of which are public, I needed a dependency tracker to track the dependencies between singleton instances. The Depends library was first created for this sole and unique purpose. It has since been modified to follow new coding standards and to be incorporated in a proprietary package version manager. A draft of an article about a dependency tracker has become the documentation of that same tracker.

Algorithm::Dependency is a base class for implementing various dependency trees.

SYNOPSIS

use Algorithm::Dependency;
use Algorithm::Dependency::Source::File;

# Load the data from a simple text file
my $data_source = Algorithm::Dependency::Source::File->new( foo.txt );

# Create the dependency object, and indicate the items that are already
# selected/installed/etc in the database
my $dep = Algorithm::Dependency->new(
source => $data_source,
selected => [ This, That ]
) or die Failed to set up dependency algorithm;

# For the item Foo, find out the other things we also have to select.
# This WONT include the item we selected, Foo.
my $also = $dep->depends( Foo );
print $also
? "By selecting Foo, you are also selecting the following items: "
. join( , , @$also )
: "Nothing else to select for Foo";

# Find out the order we need to act on the items in.
# This WILL include the item we selected, Foo.
my $schedule = $dep->schedule( Foo );

Algorithm::Dependency is a framework for creating simple read-only dependency heirachies, where you have a set of items that rely on other items in the set, and require actions on them as well.

Despite the most visible of these being software installation systems like the CPAN installer, or debian apt-get, they are usefull in other situations. This module intentionally uses implementation-neutral words, to avoid confusion.

Bundle::Encode is a Perl bundle to install Encode modules and dependencies.

Graph-includes creates a graph of dependencies between source files and/or groups of source files, with an emphasis on getting readable and usable graphs even for large projects.
Graph-includes project is meant to be an helper tool for a refactoring effort. Usability of the dependency graphs are currently improved by customizable grouping of several source files into a single node, and transitive reduction of the graph.
Enhancements:
- Ported to non-Unix platforms (tested on Windows).
- This release has finally implemented/fixed node group coloring.
- A default path for system-includes lookup has been added.

nexB OpenAssets is a tool for inventorying, managing, and monitoring applications, software, hardware, networks, and generally any IT asset.
It is designed so that system administrators, IT, and finance can determine what they have, how it is configured, what it is used for, and how much it is being used, so that informed decisions can be made.
It complements existing network management software, integrates with a growing number of protocols and tools, and features no-agent discovery and inventory, configuration management including dependencies and correlation, monitoring, and reporting. It makes extensive and innovative use of XML, Xpath, and Xquery.
Main features:
- asset tracking
- asset inventory
- asset auditing

Apache2::ASP was developed in an attempt to address some of the problems associated with web application development in Perl.
Main features:
- Easy to install and get going.
- Requires only a small number of dependencies, each of which install automatically.
- Offers some structure without enforcing undue rigidity.
- Scales out instantly across multiple servers without requiring front-end proxies.

Enter aims at beign lightweight, yet highly configurable login manager for X. Supporting many different desktop setups. It is written in C with minimal dependencies, making it an excellent choice when using other lightweight window managers, such as fluxbox.
