Hi folks,
I'm the author of the "libsatsolver" library, a library solves
package dependencies with a SAT algorithm.
This library is currently used in SUSE by YaST/zypp. I'm currently
trying to make it less SUSE specific like adding support for package
coloring and different repo handling, but I'm pretty sure I didn't
catch all things where Fedora is different from SUSE.
To test things I've written a small application called "solv" that
works like a very tiny package manager. It's available via:
http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=Fedora:11&q=libsatsol...
Impressive: after the repository data has been downloaded, the
calculation of the update from Fedora 10 (x86_64) to Fedora 11 takes
less than two seconds (practically instantaneous!) on an Athlon64 X2
4600+.
Please release this as a separate project to help cross-distro
development. This would be a pretty nifty tool in Fedora as well.
PS. Some kind of a download progress bar (speed & % of completion) would
be nice.
