Hi-- I wanted pear down the RPMS directory after I was done editing comps.xml to fit my needs. A lot of packages are no longer required, and I wanted to eliminate them. I started with a script that simply removes all packages that aren't mentioned in my customized comps.xml -- but that eliminates packages like bind-libs, which I know is needed to satisfy a dependancy, even though it isn't mentioned in comps.xml (bind-utils depends on libdns, which is provided by bind-libs). Anybody know of a tool I can use to remove the packages that aren't required while leaving those that are, and those that satisfy dependancies for those that are? The idea of querying dependancies for every single package doesn't thrill me... Kickstarting a box, and then removing all the packages that didn't end up on that box sounds even worse... -Matt-
