if (nginx, apache, postfix, mysql) all depend on (libssl, libc, libresolv) then (libssl, libc, libresolv) are dependencies of nginx, etc. I want a word for the blank in this sentence: "(nginx, apache, postfix, mysql) are ... of (libssl, libc, libresolv)" |

And also your statement isn't right. If A -> B (where -> shows a direct dependency) does not imply B -> A nor is that even true or you would have circular dependencies which would probably break most assumptions of most package managers that deal with dependency graphs |

prologic: I just looked at https://botbot.me/freenode/go-nuts/2016-07-02/?tz=America/Havana but I'm not sure what to say. I'm glad you got some help. There's also Slack I suggested Gitter here: https://github.com/GoTimeFM/ping/commit/3335a974afd27e20ceacd13ba70b378f962ff969#commitcomment-17933333 |

I believe (hope) you share the same view as i :) |

I find it unacceptable the behavior of many a developer/engineer in our industry |

I hope Go (and all languages) don't have too many bad apples. |

prologic: I'm well aware that these kinds of dependencies are not commutative:) If A->B is read as "A depends on B", I want a word/phrase for B <- A *not* B -> A. i.e. I want to change the perspective of the description but keep the same dependency relation. |

how about upstream and downstream? |

that might work, although the primary use of those is as adjectives or adverbs, I'm really looking for a noun. Perhaps I could just use them as nouns without it sounding too awkward. |

parent/child is a also a possibility |

pdurbin: I was hoping for one noun to replace dependent/dependency |

dependent :) |

as I said earlier |

it is the counterpart to dependency or depends |
| 23:01 |

A -> B (A depends on B; A has dependency B). conversely B has dependent A or B is used by A |
