.SH NAME
rmtoo-normalize-dependencies \- requirements management tool: convert dependency notation
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B rmtoo-normalize-dependencies
.B \-f
.I cfgfile

.SH DESCRIPTION
There are currently two ways to describe dependencies: the 'Solved by'
and 'Depends on' way.  Please consult rmtoo-req-format.5 for a
detailed discussion.
.P
This tool converts a set of requirements from the old and
deprecated 'Depends on' way to the new 'Solved by' way of dependency
notation.

Please note that the tools overwrites the requirements text
files. Please first backup the original files before using this tool.
