depfinder: depfinder (finds dependencies of Slackware packages) depfinder: depfinder: depfinder is a tool that finds the dependencies of Slackware depfinder: packages and outputs them in a comma separated list, in stdout or a depfinder: .dep file. depfinder is very fast at calculating dependencies; the depfinder: speed difference mainly comes from the C++ code that is used to find depfinder: in which package each individual library is included. That C++ code is depfinder: 'borrowed' (as in blatanly ripped) from Nigel Bosch's zpm code. depfinder: depfinder also has support for running multiple jobs which makes it a depfinder: *lot* faster on PCs with multiple CPUs/cores. depfinder:
