I don't think it is possible to make a benchmark that would be fair for everyone. If I'm not mistaken yum is developed to work only with Fedora repositories which are conflict free, while the other depsolvers try to handle more general repositories with conflicts. This gives yum a big advantage as it doesn't need to use as complex algorithms as the other depsolvers use. IIRC this reduces the complexity of the problem from exponential to polynomial. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
