Hi, BSD and Apple needs tsort(1) for portage still I believe. Topological sorting isn't quite right packaging. Please see: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dep-trace It is a "drop-in" replacement (operates like a /bin/tsort) but is right for pkg depends (ie, for portage: you need to dl source, order of compile may be required, sometimes gets missing message or "loop in depends" message when attempting to compile and install pkg) I'm a debian user but i wish I had a bsd machine :) So i do not know allot of BSD maintainer / mailing list specifics. Please give me a handicap there ! Thanks and thanks again, John p.s. (dep-trace itself has no depends (a /bin), has improvements, and is "more hackable" than tsort as to coding new ordering rules against lists - which in tsort "loop detected attempting to recover" is not as easy i feel.
