Re: yum source code

Hello,
According to the previous mail(below) yum's currently not
multithreaded. When the package is getting downloaded its in urlgrab()
in _getFile() function of file yumRepo.py (which is in turn called by
downloadPkgs() in file __init__.py).
How does the status bar  of download gets incremented (x% to x+1% and
hashes ###) while package is getting downloaded if code is not
currently multithreaded ??

 Nothing, yum is unlikely to ever be multi-threaded. And is currently
not multi-tasking or doing downloads via. a poll/epoll like backend.
