From https://github.com/ahesford/xbps-cycles, that is based on https://gist.github.com/Chocimier/de76441493ec7775c201dac0bb03ced5 . License is compatible with void-packages. Will be run in CI, so it should live in the same repository.

# Cycle detector for void-packages
|
|
|
|
This script enumerates dependencies for packages in a
|
|
[void-packages repository](https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages)
|
|
and identifies build-time dependency cycles.
|
|
|
|
For command syntax, run `xbps-cycles.py -h`. Often, it may be sufficient to run
|
|
`xbps-cycles.py` with no arguments. By default, the script will look for a
|
|
repository at `$XBPS_DISTDIR`; if that variable is not defined, the current
|
|
directory is used instead. To override this behavior, use the `-d` option to
|
|
provide the path to your desired void-packages clone.
|
|
|
|
The standard behavior will be to spawn multiple processes, one per CPU, to
|
|
enumerate package dependencies. This is by far the most time-consuming part of
|
|
the execution. To override the degree of parallelism, use the `-j` option.
|
|
|
|
Failures should be harmless but, at this early stage, unlikely to be pretty or
|
|
even helpful.
