How to use the latest oe-depends-dot in Yocto

From this link:

http://embeddedguruji.blogspot.com/2018/11/oe-depends-dot-in-yocto.html

It says

To use oe-depends-dot utility you need to first generate recipe-depends.dot file

When I run in zeus branch of Poky, I don't get recipe-depends.dot file

$ bitbake -g core-image-minimal

It only creates pn-buildlist, task-depends.dot

Can we pass 'task-depends.dot' to oe-depends-dot tool?

Yes, you can use it like this:

oe-depends-dot task-depends.dot --why --key libx11

(taken from Ross Burton's Why is my build so slow? slides, presented on Yocto project Dev Day 2023 )

Generation of recipe-depends.dot has been removed in Bitbake version 1.43.2 (and newer), see commit 4c484cc01e3eee7ab2ab0359fd680b4dbd31dc30. This affects Yocto versions 3.0 and up.

It appears that the documentation had not been updated right away. However, the latest Bitbake documentation does not include references to the file anymore.
