So this is terribly cool.

What I was thinking of would be something like:

yum buildroot /path/to/dir/for/buildroot [group]install foo bar baz

What I was thinking was yum would use the normal repos in the
/etc/yum.conf but init and open the rpm db in /path/to/dir/for/buildroot
for the local rpmnevral.

Then if you did a groupinstall Core Base it would install a nice system.

And, of course, I could specify turning off scripts to the rpm
transaction (that's easy)

Maybe I'll see if I can do just what this script does in python for
later integration (or outergration :) with yum

Gist of the steps:
verify dir is good/ready/not already used
initdb in dir
open transaction - turn off scripts?
install core stuff first, script free
exit

That about right?

What are the clean ups you were talking about?
