Thanks. I read the post but haven't tried installing the branch yet.

It would be good if libsolv would be installed automatically when this branch is installed (much like Tcl is automatically installed). The absence of this functionality means that building the branch will fail for users who do not have libsolv installed. That includes our automated build server, so you're missing out on the benefits automated test builds provide.
