Today I released zif 0.1.0.
zif release notes:
Version 0.1.0
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2010-09-08
Notes:
* Zif is a simple yum-compatible library that only provides read-only
access to the rpm database and the Fedora metadata for PackageKit.
* Zif is not designed as a replacement to yum, or to be used by end users.
New Features:
- Modern GObject library with GCancellation and GError
- Full state support for accurate progress reporting
- Remote, installed and local packages handled as abstract packages
- Local and remote sources handled using an abstract sack
- Self test program (248 tests)
- Shares the yum lock
- Uses librpm to get data from rpm
- Reads and updates yum metadata (primary, filelists, updateinfo, other,
metalink, mirrorlist, comps)
- Reads standard yum repo files
- Reads a subset of comps for distro-specific groups
- Uses optional metalink/mirrorlist repository handling
- Uses yum.conf main config file
- Uses the PackageKit categories->group mapping file
