Description Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-10-05 12:07:21 UTC

Now that I'm doing more and more development on a headless machine I'd really appreciate a usable dependency graph visualisation.

I'm wondering if we can either:

a) develop an depexp-like UI in ncurses 
b) output an alternate textual output that's more easily readable

Possibly generate a webpage?

David, time to merge you depexp-like tool?

David did indeed merge the ncurses port of taskexp in bitbake f49bec66ad51c8cddeceafbbe2445c46e396ee8b.

$ bitbake -g -u taskexp_ncurses.py acl zlib
