[RFE] provide easier way how to install all requested rpms #134

A module can require rpms/binaries for correct run. However, in case that something is missing, it will not run and user has to install it manually. What about:

a) add option to PA, which when used, prompt user to installation of an package?
b) make some "summary" list of all requested packages/binaries by modules, so installation all of them will be easier for user and still it will be just about really needed packages - because evaluation of "applies_to" should be done before check of missing rpms/binaries

No another option. Some summary list at the end of assessment make sense with comment like, "Some modules were not_applicable because they missed dependency ".

pirat89 commented 8 years ago

IMHO this is not completely true. Module should be applicable, because about this decide different function - I think that in this cases is result "needs_action", right?. So when required binaries/packages are missing, it is different story.

However summary list is sufficient. Just note, that summary list means, that all packages will be print at one line like:

Please install these: or run: # yum install
