The JSON dump has the following format:
This not only dumps every single (including transitive) dependencies, but also dumps the currently installed packages on the system. If we run this inside the
solbuild
chroot and runsudo eopkg up
prior to runningypkg-install-deps --dry-run --json package.yml
, we should get a (mostly) reproducible JSON of packages that the root is comprised of. If we cache this root identified by the hash of this JSON dump, we should be able to re-use this cached root insolbuild
, eliminating most if not all the time needed for dependencies to install given that no dependency is changed.
