+# With no arguments, graph-depends will draw a complete graph of
+# dependencies for the current configuration. With an argument,
+# graph-depends will draw a graph of dependencies for the given
+# package name.
+#
+# Limitations
+#
+# * Some packages have dependencies that depend on the Buildroot
+# configuration. For example, many packages have a dependency on
+# openssl if openssl has been enabled. This tool will graph the
+# dependencies as they are with the current Buildroot
+# configuration.
+#
+# * The X.org package definitions are only included when
+# BR2_PACKAGE_XORG7 is enabled, so if this option is not enabled,
+# it isn't possible to graph the dependencies of X.org stack
+# components.
