[TriLUG] another RPM question

[Frank Hale (majic)]

Is there a FAQ,DOC,README or anything on
installing/configuring RPM from the perspective of a
distro creator. There is alot of great documentation
out there for RPM usage but I cannot find anything as
far as explaining what steps a developer needs to do
for using RPM as a basis for a new distro.

I can create RPM's no problem but when trying to
install them RPM will list failed dependencies of that
package even though I just compiled the RPM from
scratch and it compiled fine. It would seem RPM thinks
that I there is a base set of RPM's installed from
which to fulfill dependencies which there isn't. I
have no RPMs installed and only have a fresh install
of RPM. I'd rather not pass --nodeps when installing
as I would like to build my dependencies from scratch
if that makes any sense.

Thank you
