Rally 0.4.0 (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:
Incomplete propagation of updates during "obsoleting" has been fixed. The rpmdb cache may be left un-updated after Rally. Rally now uses Berkeley DB as a filelists storage. Handling of non-fatal IO errors was improved. Per-locale strings in comps.xml are now used. Group descriptions are now shown as tooltips. Renamed packages are reported in Updates|Files view. A facility to enable and disable repositories has been added. An experimental facility to upgrade distribution has been added.
