I find both YUM and Pirut quite slow as compared to APT and
Synaptic. I don't think this has anything to do with my Internet
connection, since I have used APT (and Synaptic) on the very same
machine and connection as YUM and Pirut. Is this really an issue
with YUM?
With Yum IMO. Pirut uses Yum.
Thats right. Rohan, yes, yum is pretty slow compared to apt. Why dont
you install apt for fedora?
When I first started this thread few days back, my objective was not
to find a faster alternative for YUM on Fedora. I had been using
Synaptic and APT on Fedora Core 2, but stopped doing so after
upgrading to FC5. Partly due to my laziness, and partly due to the
fact that I read APT support will slowly be discontinued in Fedora.
After all if YUM is being promoted (Pirut was written for YUM
replacing system-config-packages) by the Fedora Project, it should
have something in it after all.
What I would like to know is WHY YUM is slower than APT is at all it is.
Cheers,
Debarshi
