Re: Grab and Recursive FTP

Because of the way I grab the FTP indexes (lists of RPMS out there), I would
have to do this manually (meaning recursion). Not difficult, just something
that I have not implemented (yet).

I have other requests to do this as well but I have been busy on building a
good dependency resolution model. Now that I have that (IMHO), maybe I can 
tackle this.

I am very open to receiving contributions to the code, so if you get this done
before I do, it would be appreciated! I will probably start on this in the
very near future.

Thanks for the insight!
