List of packages that need to be rebuilt

[Maciej (Matchek) Bliziński]

One of the lesser known URLs that we have is the one with obsolete
packages; packages that can be rebuilt and packages that can be removed.
It's powered by Carsten's script.

Until today the output of the script was only a list of catalognames. I've
spent some time today on making the output more comprehensive. Here's the
result (for 5.10 intel):

http://buildfarm.opencsw.org/obsolete-pkgs/PkgsToRebuildFrom_unstable_SunOS5.10_i386.html

What you see on the page, is a list of packages to be rebuilt. Next to each
package, there is a list of its dependencies, with the obsolete
dependencies highlighted in red. These are the ones we need to remove from
the RUNTIME_DEPS list when rebuilding.

The list is grouped by maintainer name.

My suggestion is to look at them and rebuild, without rebuilding a newer
version. Improving package dependencies alone is already helpful, and
upgrades can be handled separately.
