Overview

With the recent explosion of product extensions, modules, bases, the decomposition of monolithic base products into modules, and the amount of churn in product composition between releases, the task of calculating product dependencies and migrations between products has approached the complexity of package management. We have a state of the art tool for solving package dependencies, so why not apply it to the new domain?

      NB coolo has a script in /suse/coolo/list_modules using this approach already.

      There was also an experiment into server-side generic dependency solving, with an article about it by Fedora Magazine.
