bindep — Strategies for finding binary dependencies#
A codebase might depend on another project's source code; or it might depend on another project's compiled binaries. Source code dependency relationships are mostly easy to identify; binary dependency relationships are not. We need to identify binary dependency relationships to ensure the Open Source ecosystem is secure and sustainably funded.
This project aims to provide tools that enable us to identify binary dependency relationships.
