Libsolv
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
This is libsolv, a free package dependency solver using a satisfiability
|
|
algorithm.
|
|
|
|
The code is based on two major, but independent, blocks:
|
|
|
|
1. Using a dictionary approach to store and retrieve package and
|
|
dependency information in a fast and space efficient manner.
|
|
|
|
2. Using satisfiability, a well known and researched topic, for
|
|
resolving package dependencies.
|
|
|
|
The sat-solver code has been written to aim for the newest packages,
|
|
record the decision tree to provide introspection, and also provides
|
|
the user with suggestions on how to deal with unsolvable
|
|
problems. It also takes advantage of repository storage to
|
|
minimize memory usage.
|
|
|
|
Supported package formats:
|
|
|
|
- rpm/rpm5
