------------------------------------- Yum - an automatic updater and installer for rpm-based systems ------------------------------------- Included programs: /usr/sbin/yum Main program /usr/sbin/yum-arch Generate the database that yum downloads Basic usage description follows: Yum is run with one of the following options: - update [package list] If run without any packages, Yum will automatically upgrade every currently installed package. If one or more packages are specified, Yum will only update the packages listed. - install <package list> Yum will install the latest version of the specified package (don't specify version information). - remove <package list> Yum will remove the specified packages from the system. - yum list [package list] List available packages yum-arch is run from the distribution site in order to create the databases which Yum determines remote package availability. yum-arch is run in one of two ways: yum-arch <top level of archive> Theory of operation/use: Yum works by providing the headers of all the rpm packages in any system repository. These headers are stored on the webserver in a subdir of the top level of the repository. The client downloads all of the headers of the packages it doesn't have installed or of packages that have been updated. It uses the headers to determine the dependencies it will need using rpm's internal dependency calculation. Once it knows what rpms it will need it downloads them and performs the transaction. Multiple repositories - explanation of how it came out/why. Explanation of why not apt-rpm
