i agree with you paul. mmm, yum is still slow :(
If you really want to see how fast yum is, Download the packages you
want, install them with rpm -Uvh, go find the dependencies, install
with rpm -Uvh *, download more dependencies..... Boy, yum is great! :-)
I maintain several machines remotely: several debian. one FC3.
Debian, of course, uses apt-get, and apt get supports download-only.
So I run a nightly cronjob to download needed updates.
Yum only supports download-and-install. I have the clear impression
that yum is slower than apt-get even without having to wait for
downloads to occur, but as it stands and without making allowances,
yum is way slower.
It has been pointed already yumdownloader exists within yum-utils in the
Fedora Extras repository and yum in Fedora Core 4 has significant
performance improvements.
