It's not as easy to represent the data in the way you describe as you might think. Something like gcc is going to have multiple entry points in a graph, which is really hard to represent in a (sort of) 1-dimensional structure like a tree. I haven't seen any tools that do this well, although I would be happy to be wrong about it. > And it is too fresh :) I have gcc44 installed (and needed to RUN > something!), and it is deprecated. freshports doesn't know about > gcc44 a lot, because it uses more new ports database.
