Rally 0.3.0 (Default branch) |
|
|
Rally is a fast GuiLoader-based front end for RPM.
It provides RPM package management functionality
via an intuitive tree-less graphical interface.
Users are able to browse available repositories,
search for packages, and perform updates,
installations, and removals. Rally employs
Parallel Installer, which downloads and updates
packages simultaneously, potentially reaching a
vast performance boost. Rally is a part of the
Crow Designer project, and was started as a sample
GuiLoader-based application.

Changes:
Unnecessary installations of "compat" packages
during upgrade were fixed. The problem in which
the rpmdb cache may be updated even if there were
no transactions was fixed. The downloader now
follows HTTP redirects correctly. The problem in
which "obsoleting" is family-dependent, which
allows file conflicts during upgrade, was fixed.
"Full throttle" mode now should work without file
conflicts on multilib architectures. Dependency
resolver optimizations were done, increasing
Parallel Installer efficiency.
