are there any plans to take the provides and requires of the preferred packages in account?
As Luke says, plans yes - Marcus has given this a new stab lately. I actually think it is a highly useful feature, maybe we underrated it in the passed two years where we didn't tackle it.
I regularly run into it myself, last time yesterday when I was trying to build a current libzypp because I needed to test it --
The local building is important for me because I needed to get full rebuilds in a predictable time. It is especially important for factory where the normal build might be blocked several days.
-- because in Factory, *anything* needs days to turn up. No way to get packages there. I waited for a different project to complete build either, but it didn't complete during the whole day :-(
And with a local build I didn't have success either...
