I wanted a way to define certain packages and groups as being 'explicitly needed' and have some sort of consistency checker which would tell me if anything was either missing or extraneous (old deps) - much like the world file in gentoo. I have a simple python script that uses the yum and rpm libs to calculate what 'should' be there vs what is and outputs the differences. If this is also what you're looking for I can provide it. -JayKim
