+So, I should maybe install a minimal install on a virtual machine? Then
+when it needs packages I can add those to the dependencies list? It
+strikes me the problem with that would be that once you've added a load
+of packages for one RPM, then started on another, you'd be back to the
+same problem as before and need to keep reinstalling Mageia for each RPM
+you do. There must be a better way than that.

+It sounds like there is a load of trial and error then? I am sure I must
+misunderstand, building reliable RPMs must be a relatively
+straightforward thing once you're up and running surely?
