Dependency management

Fetching dependencies and creating a dependency tree

Dependencies on the top-level can be specified from:

• package%dependencies
• package%dev_dependencies
• package%executable(:)%dependencies
• package%test(:)%dependencies

Each dependency is fetched in some way and provides a path to its package manifest. The package%dependencies of the dependencies are resolved recursively.

To initialize the dependency tree all dependencies are recursively fetched and stored in a flat data structure to avoid retrieving a package twice. The data structure used to store this information should describe the current status of the dependency tree. Important information are:

• name of the package
• version of the package
• path to the package root

Additionally, for version controlled dependencies the following should be stored along with the package:

• the upstream url
• the current checked out revision

Fetching a remote (version controlled) dependency turns it for our purpose into a local path dependency which is handled by the same means.

Updating dependencies

For a given dependency tree all top-level dependencies can be updated. We have two cases to consider, a remote dependency and a local dependency, again, remote dependencies turn into local dependencies by fetching. Therefore we will update remote dependencies by simply refetching them.

For remote dependencies we have to refetch if the revision in the manifest changes or the upstream HEAD has changed (for branches and tags).

For the latter case we only know if we actually fetch from the upstream URL.

In case of local (and fetched remote) dependencies we have to read the package manifest and compare its dependencies against our dependency tree, any change requires updating the respective dependencies as well.
