OK I think the discussion is running out of hand and not what I meant in the first place. As far as I understand within the discussions, there was no or little common sense in placing the rpm's on the CDs. Please forgive me if I'm wrong, all FC guys did a tremendous job. Can anyone JUST tell me how a "rpm -i some.rpm" knows that package someother.rpm is needed. I have tried before with --requires but that didn't do the trick. I might come up with a little script which tells the hierarchie on relationships, which can be used to differentiate the packages on the CDs in a more structured way, which might be of help for future FC distributions. These of course should only be handled for extras. <div>2006/5/4, Nicolas Mailhot <<a href="mailto:nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net">nicolas.mailhot@laposte.net</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Le jeudi 04 mai 2006 à 10:50 +0200, Peter Bieshaar a écrit : > I agree this is inconvenient for me ;) That's why I tried to suggest a > solution for my inconvenience.

Technical package inter dependencies are quite complex, and social dependencies (people use foo with bar even if they are technically distinct) are worse. I think if you actually try to do what you suggest you'll hit a wall pretty soon.
