Subject: [ilugd] Announcing Opyum 0.0.2.
To: The Linux-Delhi mailing list <ilugd@... >


I hereby announce the first stable release of Opyum, the Fedora
Offline Package Manager, version 0.0.2.

Opyum (pronounced 'opium') provides a set of tools to enable users,
who do not have a good network (eg., Internet) connection at their
ready disposal, to easily install new packages or update existing ones
through the conventional package management system available in
Fedora.

If you are interested then you can read more about it at

SHA1SUM: ac50ec4a048a4db55c4bbf2d4a2419ff492f70ad
