Re: feature requests galore!!!

So you are saying i have to download the summary information while in
the grab list......
hmmm now that you are doing local dependancy caching could you cache
some of the discriptive tags like the ones that show up in the rpm -qi
summary.  You are already caching the provides and requires tags....i
think it would make more sense to cache the description tag as well
during the grab --update cycle....since that has to save on network
overhead...and gives me scriptability.
