This does seem like a good idea, but a very complicated one that doesn't seem to be within the scope of this project, You'd need to maintain a database of library files to package names for every supported distro, and even that wouldn't really handle anything but dynamic library dependencies.
I guess yeah... I'll close this, just wanted to share the idea
This is neat as then you don't have to manually always type these
deps
out for each package that are mandatory based on linked libraries, just ones that appear to be required on runtime if they're e.g. called from a shell script.A database like this also avoids duplicating known names for certain packages on different distros across a bunch of
lure.sh
's.This could work similar to what Void's
xbps-src
does with04-generate-runtime-deps.sh
and06-shlib-provides
pre-pkg
hooks; for this we would at least need to map out each library.so*
's (seen in e.g.objdump
/ldd
output of binaries) to package names for each distro in some way (while ideally avoiding duplicating.so*
-> package names for each distro/arch if possible), for example here's how Void does it.On Arch PKGBUILDs you can also do e.g.
depends+=(libmount.so libffi.so)
orprovides+=(libgio-2.0.so libglib-2.0.so libgmodule-2.0.so libgobject-2.0.so libgthread-2.0.so)
which mapping out the provided package names ->.so*
s could also enable.
