Some questions on smart usage

Hi everyone:

With Anders backport of createrepo 0.9.x features to 0.4.11, all
that's needed to get a working package management system are rpm5,
smart and create 0.4.11. Yum itself is not needed.

Getting yum to work on Belenix needs a bit of work since there's some
solaris glibc issue there, I recall from some earlier experiments.

So, here are some questions:
1. Assuming a system that has only smart, what would be the
equivalents of the yum-utils (http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/YumUtils) ?

2. How do distro developers who have only smart arrive at dependency graphs ?
I'm about to install Fedora 15 tomorrow and will try the yum-utils
tool called "repo-graph" to figure out the output that this utility
gives.
