My script should take a package name (e.g. postgresql) and returns all 
needed packages (by *all* here i mean all packages needed to make a 
custom RedHat build to run e.g. a postgresql database server or 
something like this - I am not dealing with RedHat groups here ;) just 
the minimal needed packages to run some application/service), what do 
you think about this, do you have any suggestions?

very nice presentation, but it I hope you add some examples about 
checking dependences in the future.
