Depends on #186 |
The name is too generic. As a preparation to add more command specific dependencies, we make the name more specific. Signed-off-by: Felix Moessbauer <felix.moessbauer@siemens.com>
When creating our internal package representation from an CycloneDX or SPDX package, extract the maintainer as well. This information is useful when providing the parsed information to the user. Signed-off-by: Felix Moessbauer <felix.moessbauer@siemens.com>

I am not quite happy with the naming of the subcommand. The help for it says "trace path from component to root". Maybe trace would be a better name? Or backtrace even?

In d99da6b you still use the backtrack term in the commit description. Please change it to trace-path.
Otherwise looks good.

You forgot to add the new subcommand in the README. |
When working with SBOMs a common task is to analyze dependency chains, e.g. to reason why a package was installed or whom to contact regarding a dependency subtree. For that, we implement the tracepath feature that computes paths between a component and the root component. This command is only available if the optional networkx dependency is also installed.
