What I don't understand: Why do you want to support YUM now and wanted to drop APT? Everybody I know uses APT instead of YUM, because YUM is very slow, when refreshing package lists e.g. Even most Red Hat/ Fedora users are fed up with YUM...

We are not using YUM -- we are using the metadata format that YUM uses as well. Calling those installation repors "YUM sources" might be a bit misleading. Actually they should be called "RPM Metadata" or RepoMD or something like that... Regards Christoph
