7290 :: Is it possible to generate a list of all transient dependencies and their sources?

  Hello, I would like to download all my required nimble packages (and their own required dependencies) for an offline build. This is a necessary part of deploying an application to flathub. I would like to create a json/yaml file that lists all the required dependencies and the file looks like something like this: https://github.com/flathub/id.sideka.App/blob/master/generated-sources.json

  https://www.reddit.com/r/nim/comments/8wafwd/how_to_install_nimble_package_offline/ tells me how to install an offline package so my remaining question is how to get what to download.

  There is likely a more efficient way, but to at least get you started would using local dependencies via a nimbledeps folder and then listing all installed packages via nimble list --installed --ver get you the information you require?

  This is great. I’ll investigate this when I get home. Thank you.

  Install Nimph from https://GitHub.com/disruptek/nimph

  nimph graph to view the dependency graph in your console.

  nimph lock to write the graph into a JSON file.

  This is great but unfortunately I fail to build this due to an unsatisfied dependency error. I have filed an issue in the repo.

  "I fail to build this due to an unsatisfied dependency error"

  That is pretty ironic :(
