I happened upon pacman on Arch linux - and it appeared to be substantially faster than yum. Now this was casual "visual impact only" - no formal tests using similar packages and same computer etc - but it was very much noticeably faster. Installs of even large packages seemed to fly compared to what I was used to from yum. Of course it could be difference in systems, or xz compression versus presto or who knows what else ... but it leads me to ask ... Are there any good performance benchmarks comparing yum with pacman and apt etc? gene/ -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
