Re: [Cooker] GET READY FOR A DISCUSSION - Dependencies

[Jonathan Prigot]

Even so. Could there not be a utility that recursively looks at the
dependencies the of RPM that you requested, and resolves each in turn? Come to
think of it, RedHat does that very thing with their graphical patching tool
(whose name I forget.) The only danger is that while the package you asked for
is listed at, for example, 5MB, it ends up growing to 50MB after all
dependencies are resolved.
