depfinder finds the dependencies of
Slackware packages. The dependency list can be output to stdout, to a .dep text file without version information, or to a slack-required file with version information. depfinder is very fast; its speed is mainly due to the C++ code that is used in depfinder to find in which package each individual library is included. It also has support for running multiple jobs, which makes it a lot faster when used with multiple CPUs/cores. depfinder only uses ldd to look for dependencies, so it won’t detect dependencies for any kind of scripts (bash, Python, etc.).
Changes: This release adds a man page for depfinder.
