[platform-update-dev] Dependancies sort of like RPM

["Kurt Kellner" <kkellner@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Will the new Install/Update features planed for Eclipse allow dependencies (both for other plugins and specific versions of those plugins).   It would be nice if it worked similar to the redhat RPM package installer.   If you attempt to install a plugin that has dependencies, and those dependencies are not met, a window would show a list of those plugins AND allow you to click on the non-met dependencies and get them and install them.
So from the users perspective, the update/install could keep walking a tree of dependencies updating and installing along the way.  If the system gave the user the option to "auto install dependencies" the entire process would be painless.

Is there a link that describes the design of the install/update?
