Anybody interested to work on yum

[Rangeen Basu Roy Chowdhury]

Hi everybody, I have been studying the yum code. I want to make the transaction, that yum does, multithreaded. If anybody is interested please let me know.

For people who do not know what "yum" is, it is a package manager used primarily in Fedora distributions of Linux. It downloads and installs dependencies from repositories on the internet. You will need to learn python to contribute properly... as far as i know. In any case, if you are interested, contact Rangeen.

Isn't transaction is supposed to be always single threaded ? Just asked.

ya, kushal, transaction is supposed to be single threaded. but what
rangeen wants to do here is make the download multithreaded in the
background while keeping a single threaded transaction.
