Hi!
The next generation of yum can be found at http://www.yum4.org
And for those who want the future right now: http://www.yum5.org.
If you think the content is too boring try using whois.

Florian,
That is hilarious. Thanks for pointing that out.
I was thinking from here on out we should just do squares for version
number increases:
yum 3 -> yum 9 -> yum 81 -> yum 6561 -> yum 43046721 -> yum
1853020188851841
what do you think?

Well 1853020188851841 is very long... :-) Use 3.2, 'til the earth stops
spinning. :-) I can think of 3.2.1.0.0 as a starting point :-)
well, we could do 3.e

Sound like a neat idea at first but it - if you did not yet register those
domains - does not solve the problem and we are going to run into filename
length problems on some file systems soon.

*yawn* I'm not interested in allowing his past to affect how I handle

but just remember: yum.org -> it's all about a pure morning!

Why not using the (La)TeX idea of an irrational number, adding a digit
each round? sqrt(11) = 3.316624... would do. So the next one would be
3.3, then 3.31, 3.316, ...

well, we could do 3.e
HAHA! I ever knew, one day RPM will eat all those python programmers (okay,
I already know who owns this domains for a longer time now) ;-)
Panu...now as yum4 and yum5 will be written in C and not in python (IIRC
nobody of rpm5.org would write yum next generation in a script language),
wouldn't it be the perfect time to rip out the python support in RPM? This
would bring us to a bare RPM like you were suggesting it. No HTTP, no FTP
and no python support - what do we need more? Maybe somebody could remove
the perl support, too? When yum4 and 5 goes back to the roots, why not RPM
also?
Unfortunately you all can't see how big my grin is...
...more grin than having face,
Robert :-D

If you are rewriting Yum in C on your own, it would be more courteous to
call it by a different name instead of simply bumping the version,
registering domains silently and generally end up confusing end users. I
doubt many developers of Python apps like Zope would really consider it
as a scripting language. It isn't described as one officially.
HTTP/FTP client support is not really comparable to support for language
bindings. Since you are already contributing to a different branch, it
is unnecessary to harp on the maintainer's choices here.

Use resonant frequencies of your favorite isotopes - you get the benefit
of higher version numbers and multiple choices for each release :P
Yeah, I'm just being silly, catching up on old email.
