It looks like there are a couple of questions to deal with: 1) yum-presto is in @gnome-desktop and shouldn't be 2) yum-presto is enabled by default If we don't want (2), then remove it from @gnome-desktop. People who need/want it can install it using "yum install yum-presto", and it will start working immediately. If we do want (2), then we just need to work out how to fix (1). If not @gnome-desktop (which is probably not where it belongs), then possibly @base? FWIW, my opinion on (2) (as the yum-presto maintainer) is that it should be installed by default, but I'm obviously biased. > Lighter compression might also help to reduce the resource > requirements for older machines? IIRC we've already reduced the xz compression level in our rpms from 7 to 2. (See http://osdir.com/ml/fedora-devel-list/2009-09/msg00946.html) Jonathan
