Hey mates,
Just out of curiosity, but I was downloading the mplayer package, and a number of accompanying packages, and noticed that yum started downloading them in the order
mplayer-fonts-... 1.0 MB
mplayer-skins-... 12 MB
mplayer-1.0-1... 5.2 MB
So I was just wondering off the top of my head... what algorithm exactly does yum use to determine which packages to download from a set in what order? I mean, as far as I can see, they are not ordered by name nor size, nor by dependancy (downloading mplayer first then its fonts & skins)
Any ideas?
PS: I know... I know... just too much free time :)
