Comment:

 I don't want [source:trunk/docs/quickstart.rst quickstart.rst] to contain
 a list of dependencies, because that would make it longer and more
 complicated, and because a user who is following quickstart.rst doesn't
 need to know what the dependencies are, since they get downloaded
 automatically.

 Clarifications:

 * sel had a problem with missing dependencies (see #2063), but sel was not
 following quickstart.rst at that time, because sel was invoking {{{python
 setup.py install}}}, which quickstart.rst does not instruct you to do.
 * There is a list of dependencies, in
 [source:trunk/src/allmydata/_auto_deps.py?annotate=blame&rev=7bb07fb5e28756fa13ba5190e6c39003c84d3e1e
 src/allmydata/_auto_deps.py].
 * There is probably also more information on wiki:AdvancedInstall, but I
 wouldn't know, because I don't look at that page.
