Re: New tool called ZenSonar for package spotting

["Felipe Sere" <dodofxp@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I will write an article for the wiki, but I am a little short on time.
I'll give you some basic help though:
*Have a look at Options -> Properties -> GUI. There are help texts for
those entries.
* You an click any package and see which package uses it, and if
extrainfo = yes, you can see its slackdesc and its files
*If you check the box "CfO" (Check for Orphants), and then click
Orphants, ZenSonar will tell you which packages are left Orphant'ed
when you remove that spcific package. You can also click multiple.
This search is recursive. So it will check what happens if you remove
package A, its deps B and B's Deps C etc...
*The pane in the bottom right shows which packages depend on the
selected andthorugh which path (A depends on B, B on C, so C is used
by A)
 The lower the layer number, the closer to the "surface" is the
packge. LAyer2 is a package's dependency's dependency.

I hope that helps for testing.
Ah yes, in aalib the slackdesc is scrambled because of ASCII graphics...

Cheers
