User Story

As a developer, I want to refactor dependency checking so that it is easier to add support for new distros and releases.

Basic info

  • **Distro:**Any
  • Game: All
  • Command: check_deps.sh

Further Information

Recently there have been a number of new releases of distros such as ubuntu that change dependency requirements. While CentOS has new forks in the form of Rocky and Alma Linux. The complexity of the dependency checking module "check_deps.sh" means that it is not simple to update the requirements. Work needs to be done to streamline and simplify the entering of dependencies to allow anyone to update and add requirements as they change.

Further Reading

A possible solution might be to create a csv file and parse the data from it. However, this may lead to significant duplicate data.

@dgibbs64 commented on GitHub (Jul 6, 2021):

Possible solution using the following as an example csv file
dependencies-arma3.csv

ubuntu,16.04,dep1,dep2,dep3,dep4,dep5
debian,10,dep1,dep2,dep3,dep4,dep5
rocky,8,dep1,dep2,dep3,dep4,dep5

When a new server has added the dev of the new server can complete the csv as part of the dev work. This will also allow more distros to be easily added quickly. While there will be some repetitive data it will drastically simplify the proccess.
