User Story
As a developer, I want to refactor dependency checking so that it is easier to add support for new distros and releases.
Basic info
Further Information
Recently there have been a number of new releases of distros such as ubuntu that change dependency requirements. While CentOS has new forks in the form of Rocky and Alma Linux. The complexity of the dependency checking module "check_deps.sh" means that it is not simple to update the requirements. Work needs to be done to streamline and simplify the entering of dependencies to allow anyone to update and add requirements as they change.
Further Reading
A possible solution might be to create a csv file and parse the data from it. However, this may lead to significant duplicate data.
