If yum is not to replace up2date for updating, then why does it exist?
What itch is _it_ scratching that up2date
wouldn't/shouldn't/couldn't scratch?
Or is it another case of 'Not Invented Here' syndrome?
Let's get this straight. Yum wasn't written by red hat. It was written
by me in large parts with contributions from a number of other people. I
do not work for red hat. I work for duke and I wrote yum on my free
time.
So yum is not a victim of NIH.
Let's move on.
