Hello All ,

Sorry the previous mail lost the formatting . Resending it again .

Question :  Given a set of required capabilities, come up with a list of 
RPM's  with all the dependencies
                resolved .  The way I am doing it is , PsuedoCode follows:
             
                  Run setup  code.
                  for cap in capabilities:
                        packages.append ( yum.YumBase.returnPackageByDep 
(cap ) )
                  for po in packages :
                         yum.tsInfo.addInstall (po)
                  yum.buildTransaction()
                  mems = yum.tsInfo.getMembers()
                  for mem in  mems:
                      From mem.po.returnPackageTuple()  generate the rpm 
file name.
                  

                  Am i doing the correct way , if NOT  what would be the 
correct way to do it.
                  Thanks a Lot

Regards
Jitendra Nair
