I see that you already said pretty much the same thing I did on another
thread [1].
IMHO we should make sure that if the fetch-depends target finds it
cannot sym
link to preinstalled system libraries, then the user is clearly informed
so they have
the choice to install them without having the archived file versions
unpacked. So
perhaps the fetch-depends step should still fail with a message saying
something like
"Could not resolve these dependencies, either build/install these
packages manually
or you can run this other target to have the archived versions unpacked
into your
dependency tree". (Hopefully a little clearer than that ;) )

Oliver

Can we provide archives of these dependencies in our svn (or
wherever) as
a fallback if fetch-depends cannot find them installed on the local
system?
Dont we do something like that on Windows at the moment?

Hi, Alexey:
No I do not installed the developer versions of these rpms, but
I have
made it work...mm after struggling.... The same rpm has different
configurations due to different providers. For examples, those from
rpmfind
and those redhat iteself provides.
So I recommend Harmony to provide such required files if possbile.
