I've not got the time to spend on seeing if there is any place for optimization of the test transaction in rpm. Not right now, at least. When I get the 'build all fedora extras' stuff off my plate and summer hits I hope to have some time to profile the heck out of yum. You wanna work on the rpm transaction test and figuring out how to make it faster, easier, capable of more interactivity/callbacks. That'd be cool. If you do - go to rpm-devel list or rpm-python list or heck, even yum-devel - but fedora-test-list is probably not the best place for that discussion. -sv
