Revdep
Revdep refers to reverse dependency checking in software development. It is a process used to identify and test packages or modules that depend on a specific package or module. When a change is made to a particular piece of software, revdep checks ensure that all other software that relies on it continues to function correctly after the modification. This is crucial for maintaining the stability and integrity of larger software ecosystems.
The primary goal of revdep is to prevent regressions, which are bugs that are introduced into previously
Revdep checks are often automated as part of a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline.
