1 YUM metadata parser written in C.
4 The biggest complaint people have with YUM is often the performance of parsing
5 the metadata. This implementation should be ~10 times faster, parsing the
6 primary.xml file under 1 second usually, filelists.xml under 3 seconds and
7 other.xml under 4 seconds. It uses a lot less memory as well, some testings
8 I have done show it uses ~4mb instead of 40mb standard YUM uses.
11 Should be really easy:
13 sudo python setup.py install --prefix=/usr
15 (Assuming you python prefix is /usr).
17 The next time you use yum, it regenerates the sqlitecache because the database
18 schema is slightly different.
