Simple bash script to create a graph of RPM packages' dependencies. The output is in dot (https://graphviz.org/doc/info/lang.html) directed graph format, and can be displayed or printed using the dotty graph editor from the graphviz package.
Requires the rpm command.
Just download and use it. Add it to your path if desired.
To learn more about what it does and how to use it type ./rpmdepsgraph.sh -h:

and reject all dependencies starting with one of the KEYs
-t STR graph title. Defaults to "RPM Dependencies"
-o PATH output file path (name and directory). Defaults to stdout
Examples:
rpmdepsgraph.sh -t MyPackage dist/mypackage*rpm > mypackage.dot
dot -Tsvg mypackage.dot > mypackage.svg

rpmgraph (from rpm-devel RPM) is working as well on package files
but is not listing all dependencies, and has no filtering.
rpmgraph.py (https://codeberg.org/htgoebel/rpmgraph) is using the
RPM db and is Python 2 code.
dnf repograph
dnf repoquery --tree --requires mypackage-sub_a-3.10.10 --qf "%{name}"
both use the RPM db and print/graph too many dependencies
