Is there a tool to visualize RPM dependencies (by size)

[Richard W.M. Jones]

Has anyone written a tool to visualize RPM dependencies? Preferably
graphically, and I'm primarily interested in the size of each
dependent package.

+-------------------+
| foo (1.3MB) |
+-------------------+
| |
+-----+ +------------------------+
| bar | | baz (2 MB) |
+-----+ +------------------------+
| | | | |

I found rpmgraph[1] but it only does dependencies, not size.

I don't know of anything graphical - but it wouldn't be hard to sort the
deps of an installed pkg by the size of the pkg.

Am I right in thinking that 'repoquery' is the right tool for this
job?

Depends - do you want to report on the pkgs from a repo or from your
installed system?

From the repository.

You could post-process the graph produced by rpmgraph to add in the
size info. You'd need to find the min and max sizes you're interested
in and scale that value to something reasonable, add in 'node [
fixedsize=true ]' and an extra entry for each node giving the scaled
size, eg. ' "bash" [width=1.75] '

From the repository.

try this:

http://skvidal.fedorapeople.org/misc/deps-by-size.py

for example:
$ python deps-by-size.py zsh
Loaded plugins: post-transaction-actions, remove-with-leaves
5966388 - glibc
4766326 - coreutils
2036281 - zsh
1887256 - bash
334108 - ncurses-libs
186790 - grep
182020 - info

Great, thanks.

rpmreaper does that in ncurses interface, but AFAIK only on installed
packages - not sure of that's what you want.

Just to complete the circle on this:

Yes, I'll put one up later. At the moment it's still an experiment.

RPMs are there. Note that you definitely won't be able to
compile this on CentOS ... It requires Fedora >= 10.
