Unlikely I think, if nothing else because the speed improvements to some extent come from using an SQLite database backend, and SQLite isn't in FC3. > Is it fc3-compatible (i don't have any rawhide machines > lying around, sorry), so i can just yum it in from rawhide to my > fc3-box? Don't do that! Well, unless you want an enormously large chunk of Rawhide on your box. Rawhide yum is built against Python 2.4 while the Python version in FC3 is 2.3. Thus if you update Yum you'll pull in Python 2.4 which will in turn pull in everything written in Python which will in turn pull in hordes of other stuff. (This is assuming that the deps are all set up right; otherwise you might end up with a bunch of broken crap instead.) Since you aren't already running rawhide on the box, I gather that this really isn't what you want!
