Description Douglas Silas 2009-09-13 21:50:47 UTC
Description of problem: insert a short section after "3.4. Configuring yum" called "Enhancing yum" that details (at least) the improvements that Presto and Fastest Mirror provide. There is not a current consensus on whether Presto will be enabled by default on F12 (though signs point toward "no" due to lopsided speed differential re: older machines/slower drives). Suggested course: provide short section on ways to enhance yum.

In addition, new xz (was: lzma-utils) default payload compression for RPM should be mentioned. Appending this change to this bug.

Comment 3 Douglas Silas 2010-07-16 10:17:30 UTC
Note: The RPM chapter contains the mention of XZ compression as a new feature. Also, XZ compression is mentioned in relation to createrepo. See:

http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Deployment_Guide/index.html#sec-Creating_a_Yum_Repository

Setting to ON_QA.
