Description Sebastian Luther (few) 2011-10-17 10:00:12 UTC

Currently it will do full dependency resolution, but then only build a binary package without installing the packages.

This obviously doesn't work if some built-time dependencies aren't installed.

What it should do is to:

* install needed built-time dependencies
* build binary packages for all built packages, except those matched by --buildpkg-exclude
* warn the user if some packages will be installed
* not build packages at all that neither get a binary created nor get installed as built-time deps

Thoughts?

Sounds good to me.
