I read that Yum is the new dependency resolver for Anaconda, and system-config-packages as well. I like Yum better because it provides some features I've never seen on Apt or Smart (package repackaging and installing packages locally - 'yum localinstall'). But it is slower than Apt and Smart, for now :-/ > Of > course now that Smartpm is under review for Fedora Extras repository, > you have the choice easily. Well, I'm not some SmartPM fan or something, I was just playing with it. Seems nice tool. Or it isn't as it looks like?
