It's amazing how well this thing works for us. We have delivery lists that have ~30 packages, with the graph being 7 deep in some places.
Nevertheless, I'm chagrin'ed to admit that Friday we found a hole in its computation. It does not recurse through full blocks, so a dependency found solely in a full/complete block will not be found.
The fix could be as easy a little recursion hacking or... I could modify the rather long trace method to use a DD pattern. I'm going to opt for the second route. I think I want a tool that computes these things in the background and shows me changes its noticed too. Stay tuned.
