Re: [Oscar-devel] Ordering of prereqs

[Neil Gorsuch]

All we care is that some of the prereqs are done first, not the order of all of them. So why not have a share/prereqs/first.txt that lists the ones done first, in their correct order. Any directories not listed in that file get done in alphabetical order after the ones listed. That way nobody has to remember to modify a file for the typical prereq. Would the first cut be the following?

packman
update-rpms
oda
perl-Tk

or just this?

packman
update-rpms

  directory are much higher.

Comments?
