Summary: improved gaze dependencies
Product: Sorcery
Version: Untargetted future release
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Gaze
AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: lejatorn AT linuxmail.org


The problems encountered with gaze dependencies are the following kind:
`gaze dependencies mplayer 6` will hang at "swig".
`gaze dependencies mplayer` will loop endlessly.
Those are not that bad because one can use a value from 2 to 5 and get a
correct
output.
On the other end, for spells like db
`gaze dependencies db 2` will hang at "swig" too and
`gaze dependencies db` will also loop endlessly
`gaze dependencies db 1` will just return "db ()"
and this is a problem because there is no other value to try so one can never
get the full dependency tree for db.

So, what has to be done is:

-solve the problem for spells like db (is it because it has very few
dependencies that it behaves like that?). Btw, I find weird that in both tests
it stops at "swig" spell, perhaps this is a hint.

-maybe see if it's possible to set an automatic deepness value, depending on
the
spell, for gaze dependencies.
For instance, with mplayer the last "good" value being 5, it would nice if
`gaze
dependencies mplayer` with no value (or with a higher than 5 value) simply
defaults to 5. And even if it's to hard to implement in sorcery itself, maybe
we
could use a new variable that reads this value in the spell itself. Of course
that means the spell maker will have to test the dependency tree (how?) for
this
particular spell and put the right value in the DETAILS file when creating the
spell. As I know very few about sorcery, this is probably an insane idea, but
who knows...

Cheers,
Mathieu.
