Right, but the ftp code should be useful since it gets files at one ftp
site via a single ftp connection - which was one problem that was
mentioned.
Checking for the deps loop would be somewhat easy to do by parsing out
the deps list from the rpms - since were already planning on doing some
coding :) ( we in the general - I'm already hacking away at leafnode now
that the guy at troll tech has stoped working on it, so he was nice
enough to mail me his current source tree ... god no comments! sigh...
Can you tell I'm a CS student ... I actualy expected comments in the
source ... heheh that should wear off in a few years )
