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?
