Amazing!

archman-cro · 2010-04-18 08:51:16

Here's mine too:

It's not so messy, I guess.

oskude · 2010-06-02 13:31:54

cool tool!

i knew there was something like this and hence didn't really search, as i wanted to scratch the same itch ^_^
(although i was after exact dependecy trees of a package or group, and in which repo they are)

and ironically, as i dont really use any forums, i searched/posted only on the mailinglist, and also called it pacgraph, sorry >_<*
(if i ever continue/finish it, i'll rename!)

but whatever, the dependency compression sounds/looks awesome for big graphs!

ps. could you add the namespace xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" in the svg element so firefox and chromium recognize and render it.

keenerd · 2010-06-28 12:44:59

Done. Also added the doctype and xml version info (required for Opera).

splittercode · 2010-07-15 05:28:07

This is so COOL. I like how glibc is sort of glowing in the middle

DawiX · 2010-07-15 12:43:18

Cool. Now I can see how messy my install is

keenerd · 2010-08-28 23:41:31

New version on AUR.

This one comes with [multilib] support. And a speed boost from replacing the brute force checker with an R tree.

Woah.

igndenok · 2010-08-30 04:56:12

It seems today is my lucky day.
Thanks for this awesome package sir, now I can see my bloated system.

Can you add a conf file ? Maybe like .pacgraph, so I can edit some config (like colors) before use it.

urist · 2010-08-30 14:43:36

Someone mentioned using solely LaTeX because it's lighter than OpenOffice? Psh... They look about the same to me - the dependencies for those fonts must be huge.

Bauerbill must be lonely off by itself like that.

Much smaller than my last one. (It was around 5GB!)

funny tool

jalu · 2010-09-11 17:15:55

I'm new to pacgraph and have a bit of a silly question...

What does pacgraph tell me exactly. I realize what it does (draws installed packages, their sizes, and their dependencies), but how can I use this information? Does the graph hint at packages that should be removed? Does it provide guidance for cleaning up the system in some way?

Thanks!

chris-kun · 2010-09-11 18:56:40

no.. it just provides a cool graph showing your installed packages, their sizes, and their dependencies. there are no "hints" at anything else.

keenerd · 2010-10-22 16:42:40

Big update to pacgraph-i. It is now stable and fast enough to be usable!

Features:
Animation. Pan and zoom.
Type to search for a package.
Hover to see deps and inverse deps.
No waiting for the PNG to render.

Still single threaded and I had to disable zoom during the animation (glitchtastic otherwise).

Thoughts and requests?

tawan · 2010-10-26 19:51:44

I can't get pacgraph -i to work

I tried pacgraph -i followed by 3 hex values and again followed by 3 colour names and no luck

What should I be doing?

PS this tool along with PDI is very useful for Arch, thanks very much.

My bad, the docs are not clear at all. You need to select packages for it to color anything. So

pacgraph -i red yellow green qt

would color Qt red, the deps below it yellow, and the apps above it green.

Unless you mean pacgraph-i (no space), the interactive version. That is just a Tk app. Yes, it is getting renamed next release to avoid confusion.

Could we possibly start a new thread? It looks like a cool tool, but the original post was from a year and a half ago. It's kind of a pain to look at a thread, and only the last three are from within the last month. Thanks!

(not trying to bash on your contribution keenerd )

maxexcloo · 2010-10-28 09:54:05

Anyone have ideas on how to remove the extra stuff?

keenerd · 2010-10-28 12:46:20

ssentinull: Most everything in Community Contrib is like this. Log in and click [New posts] instead.

maxexcloo: Try every single app in the repos until you mind the smallest one you like. Remove duplicate functionality (Chromium and firefox? VLC and Mplayer and totem?) Also, either ditch java or go java-only :-)

keenerd · 2011-02-26 17:28:13

Biiiiiig update! The layout and search has been substantially overhauled.

Generating an SVG is about twice as fast.
Packages cluster much better.
Some control over aspect ratio.
Pacgraph-tk is more responsive.

Unfortunately, aspect ratio is not set from command line, yet. (If aspect ratio works at all, this will be added.) It is forced at 2:1. If you manage to generate a tall render, it is a bug and I'd like to see it.

If you are curious what changed, empty space is now found with a spiral pattern. (Formerly, it was a straight line.) Fire up pacgraph-tk and the spirals are very apparent.

milomouse · 2011-02-26 20:20:26

i hate to keep bringing this up but is there anyway pacgraph could respect database path (DBPath) in pacman.conf? in the meantime i just edited the python file and it will work. here's mine:

pretty neat utility

keenerd · 2011-02-26 20:57:35

Seems like the clustering gets a little out of hand with large data sets.
http://kmkeen.com/tmp/arch-repo.png (3.6 MB!)
From Reventlov: http://ompldr.org/vN2txYg (15 MB!)
There are distinct blobs of OOo, python, perl, etc. Might have to tune that, but I kind of like it. If you want to generate that image yourself, "pacgraph -m arch-repo"

milomouse: I forgot about that. I'll see about adding that later today. Nice colors, btw.
