YUM metadata parser written in C.* Why? The biggest complaint people have with YUM is often the performance of parsingthe metadata. This implementation should be ~10 times faster, parsing theprimary.xml file under 1 second usually, filelists.xml under 3 seconds andother.xml under 4 seconds. It uses a lot less memory as well, some testingsI have done show it uses ~4mb instead of 40mb standard YUM uses.* How?Should be really easy:python setup.py buildsudo python setup.py install --prefix=/usr(Assuming you python prefix is /usr).The next time you use yum, it regenerates the sqlitecache because the databaseschema is slightly different.
