"Create build recipes through automated trial and error.
Packaging a random piece of software for any given Linux distribution often involves a process like this:
Guess at some build dependencies.
Try building the package with those dependencies.
Discover that you missed some more dependencies.
Repeat, ad nauseum.
This project partially automates that cycle."

Yes!!!
Seems to be just a prototype for now, but I know this cycle so well...
