Package management using zif.

As yum was introduced I was happy about it’s features. Also some of the later features like history and the rollback are nice and handy.\ But yum can be slow.\ \ If you want to use a different rpm high-level management system with a comparable featureset to yum give zif a try:\

$ sudo yum install -y zif-tools PackageKit-zif

This also installs the zif backend for PackageKit - which appears to the user as the package update dialog.\ Many known commands will work:

$ zif search yum
$ sudo zif install -y livecd-tools
$ zif # will print help
