rmtoo-normalize-dependencies(1)

NAME
rmtoo-normalize-dependencies - requirements management tool: convert dependency notation

SYNOPSIS
rmtoo-normalize-dependencies -f cfgfile [-h] [-m moduledir] reqs_dir

DESCRIPTION
There are currently two ways to describe dependencies: the 'Solved by' and 'Depends on' way. Please consult rmtoo-req-format.5 for a detailed discussion.

This tool converts a set of requirements from the old and deprecated 'Depends on' way to the new 'Solved by' way of dependency notation.

Please note that the tools overwrites the requirements text files. Please first backup the original files before using this tool.

OPTIONS

-f CONFIG_FILE, --file-config=CONFIG_FILE
    The directory with the requirements files.

-h, --help
    Display a short usage help.

-m MODULES_DIRECTORY, --modules-directory=MODULES_DIRECTORY
    The directory where the rmtoo modules can be found. When the program was installed by standard system routines (e.g. as a deb or a rpm package) this option is not necessary. When using rmtoo from the repository or from a release tar ball this must point to the main directory.

reqs_dir The directory of the requirements which will be
    converted.

RETURN
rmtoo-normalize-dependencies returns 0 when all commands are successfully completed and a value not equal 0 when there was a problem.
