[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: display *.rpm queries in install order (#481)

[Jeff Johnson]

There is no easy way to display the order in which a set of packages will be installed.

(aside)
You can do a rpm -v -v --test and scrape the order out of the debugging spewage. No other known way to identify the order in which packages would be installed by rpm.

The rpmgi interface could/should be modified to create a transaction from the set of package arguments, perform a topological sort, and then apply whatever query format is desired to the headers in the transaction in the same order that they would be installed.
