While we are in python i have something which draws graphviz dependency graphs for ports here http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~talon/pkg_check.py Unfortunately for many ports the diagram becomes completely unreadable. Your display is wonderful. Seeing things like your script, the perl script port-easy by des, etc. i really wonder why people write stuff in C or worse shell for ports. One could write ten times smarter and ten times shorter things in real languages like python, lisp, etc. This argument of being "included in base system" is so completely bogus ... -- Michel TALON
