Well, seems I'm making lots of rpms these days :)

Since rpmbuild program doesn't have built in dependency resolver, is it
possible to check dependencies before start rebuilding? Of course, I
would download them with yum if there are any of them.

One more Yum question: Is it possible with yum to download the source
rpm packages? I know how to do it with up2date, but I disabled SELinux,
so I'm unable to use it, and I found no answer in man pages for Yum.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!
