Hi All,
I've trying to get pkgorder to be able to take its source of dep
whiteout from an external file. This is needed so that I don't have to
patch whiteout.py evertime this needs to change. Anyway, I tried the
following simple patch to no avail:

I'm not very good with python, so I'm wondering if I'm doing something
kind of dumb? Any ideas what might make this work?
Thanks...james
