It won't reorder packages, it installs packages in order given, just like yum does. But here is one difference: yum does know which packages are installed because of requirements of others. > You're right - it doesn't do this, quite intentionally, if yum did all > of this then i'd be rewriting a lot of transaction ordering from rpm. > The whole point in using the rpmlibs and ts.order() is to NOT rewrite > all that. Only thing to make this work better easily would be: Add requirements at top of installed packages list. Because RPM installs packages in order given to it. So if Requirement packages are added, they should be appended at start of installed packages list, not bottom. This won't fix it in every case but it will fix most of cases. -- Tuomo Soini <tis@xxxxxxxxx> Linux and network services +358 40 5240030 Foobar Oy <http://foobar.fi/>
