+# OpenWRT dependency graph drawing
+Here is script that show package compiled package dependencies of
+OpenWrt packages. Script reads compiled packages dependencies and
+generates GraphViz files and draws graph of all packaged dependencies.
+This graph can be used to see how to remove unesesseray dependencies.
+Practicaly this script was used to see how overall all system is
+designed and if there is some circular dependencies. After there where
+removed unnesesarry dependencies generated graph was used to see overall
+system design.
+
+
+*.ipk files are tar.gz archives and can be renamed as *.tar.gz and
+opened with GUI or in terminal:
+
+```
+tar -xvf package.ipg
+```
+
+Structure of ipkg files is:
+
+
+debian-binary - version
+\data.tar.gz - here is all rootfs data files
+\control.tar.gz
+ control - package info here is dependencies and package name.
+
+Here tree based on OpenWRT git commit of 24 May 2013
+
+How to use script, first parametr of script is directory where is all
+OpenWrt package files usualy it is under
+
+```
+openwrt-trunk/
+ bin/
+ platform-name/
+ packages/
+```
+
+
+To use type
+
+```
+deptree.py system-path/openwrt-trunk/bin/platform-name/packages
+```
+
+
+Output files comes in same directory where script where lunched
+generated file name is:
+
+```
+deptree.dot
+```
+
+now convert dot file to pdf, psd, png:
+
+
+```
+dot -Tps $(NAME).dot -o graph1.ps
+dot -Tpdf $(NAME).dot -o graph1.pdf
+dot -Tpng $(NAME).dot -o graph1.png
+```
+
+
+All OpenWRT was default selected for default platform there is about
+~152 of them the generated totaly 325 dependencies image
+
+
+There where removed only one level deep dependencies there was
+185 of then after first level deep dependencies where removed generated
+image is little bit cleaner
+
+
+Rules with dependecies where removed:
+
+```
+if (A depends on [B,C] and B depends on [C]) and
+ there is (edges A->B->C and A->C) then
+ dependency C can be removed from A
+```
+
+
+## TODO:
+
+add more sophisticated graph algorith
+add to remove more dependencies
