Zif is a simple yum-compatible library that only provides read-write
access to the rpm database and the Fedora metadata for PackageKit.

Tarballs available here: http://www.packagekit.org/releases/

Version 0.2.2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Released: 2011-08-01

New Features:
 - Add a runtime interface for enabling and disabling repos
 - Add 'install-as-update' command to the manifest file format
 - Generate a xz tarball by default
 - Reset the file modification date if we skip the download because
the checksum matched
 - Store arrays of ZifPackages when resolving to simplify things

Bugfixes:
 - Do not attempt to remove packages we want to remove if they
obsolete *and* provide a depend
 - Do not print a critical warning for an empty .repo file
 - Ensure that local packages are not marked as installed
 - Ensure we check the age of the uncompressed file when loading the
metadata item
 - Ensure we don't skip a valid-looking repomd.xml when we want to refresh it
 - Fix a crash in the zif command line tool when getting the deps list
 - Fix a potential division-by-zero in zif_transaction_set_progress()
 - Fix a typo that could mean the metalink file was not re-downloaded
in some cases
 - Replace zif_md_file_check() with two seporate methods with sane semantics
