I am looking at the horribly slow installation when packages are

Interesting anaconda/yum performance issue).
Jeff then put together a patch for yum based on where I pointed him that
should have gotten this back to where it "should" be. And that's been
in for a while.
Where can I find/test that patch? Any relevant BZ?
Which version of anaconda/yum?
Anybody can point me to documentation about dependency checking in
Anaconda? Most of you will say that this is a yum thing but the problem
may be in anaconda not using yum API correctly.
It didn't have anything to do with depchecking; it was purely a matter
of package _selection_ taking a lot more time.
Yes I realized that after reading the code more carefully.
What I've found is this:
When doing @Everything install things end up in YumBase.install which
calls ParsePackages -> buildPkgRefDict
On the other hand 'using yum install *' from the console results in
YumBaseCli.installPkgs which uses self.pkgSack.matchPackageNames in this
case.
I am not quite sure what are the differences but it seems strange.
Why do we have 2 different function/code paths that essentially do the
same thing, install requested packages?
Also there seems to be some duplicating code in buildPkgRefDict and
matchPackageNames - creating the NEVRA strings. That's yum 3.2.1-4.
