One way to automate is with repeated passes across a manifest of builds. Install successes, remove (or repeat that works too) from manifest, lather rinse repeat. That usually converges pretty fast, like maybe 5-10 passes. Ordering the manifest is often not too hard. Repeated traverses of a manifest has the distinct advantage that it does depend on the quality of build dependencies, which can be unreliable outside of an exactly identical build system process. Farkas was using mock iirc. 73 de Jeff
