Here's an attempt I had at solving a similar problem [1]. Untar the attached tarball and cd into the directory it creates. You need to run it against CVS HEAD of yum by setting PYTHONPATH appropriately [2] - at least, I haven't tried it with any released yum versions, the main issue will be the use of pkgSack.matchPackageNames. Then run, e.g. ./deptrack kernel glibc which should give you a list of the packages in the depclosure of kernel + glibc. You can also pass group names, e.g. ./deptrack @base @core lists the depclosure of the base and core groups (assuming your repos have those in the groups file) The output consists of three parts: package names from the command line (groups resolved), a blank line, package names that could not be found in any repos (if any), a blank line, and a list of package NEVRA of the resolved packages. There are a few other options to change the output of varying degrees of usefulness. For example, by passing '-i', for each package in the resolved package set you get a list of the packages from the command line that caused it to be pulled in. Enjoy, David P.S.: If this seems interesting to others, I can see about throwing up a hg or git repo somewhere with the code [1] It's a blatant ripoff of repotrack from yum-utils [2] Giving me a convenient excuse when things don't work ;)
