(facebook quote between me and a sysadmin)
ME: Since when does yum download in parallel?
HIM: it should only do it when they're on different repo's
ME: It's been downloading xulrunner, selinux-policy, wqy-zenhei-fonts, and the kernel in parallel for the past hour; only those last two left.
HIM: you have overlapping definitions in yum sources
HIM: >
ME: it was updating, then the laptop got shut and cut off the internet; when I restarted, it started going in parallel. it's weird
HIM: strange
HIM: I haven't used yum in a while since I use mostly debian and ubuntu
HIM: but I know apt does parallel when packages are on different repo's
HIM: it could also just be a UI glitch that's showing them both downloading.
ME: my guess is it interpreted the loss in connection as all of the default mirrors blowing up at once, so it fellback to different repo mirrors by chance
HIM: kernel is protected so it won't fallback
ME: and it's a fresh terminal, so UI bug is slim chance. the others could have fallen back to different repos than that of the kernel
HIM: the others could be mirrored though
HIM: true true
HIM: it's either fallback or ambiguity in your yum sources file
ME: or my yum just digivolved
HIM: possibry
HIM: it did just shit all over itself right before it digivolged though
ME: maybe it required 1 care mistake minimum
HIM: brb making my fedora box shit itself to see if it digivolves
ME: hah
ME: remember, you need 3/4 of the following: body weight; minimum stats; care mistakes; special condition.
HIM: well I'm at 0 care mistakes
HIM: and surely the rest of the stats are close
ME: go for weight and special; stats are near impossible to get
ME: and shit self until cm are in line
HIM: what's the special for the yum evolution
ME: consume two+ hotdogs before it completes
HIM: bah
ME: that, or put your hostname as mordor
HIM: I thought I was supposed to copy /bin/bash to /bin/mordor and use that as my shell
ME: nah. i never go for stats until post-digivolution, so i had to have the special; seeing as i didn't do that, that can't be the special i used.
HIM: is your hostname mordor then?
ME: yes
ME: and i ate the hotdogs
ME: but specials don't stack; either you get at least one or you don't
HIM: and your computer weighs 34 kilos
ME: it's an ultrabook
ME: so feed it only super carrots; those decrease weight when eaten
HIM: oic
ME: i have spent way too much time playing digimon world
HIM: considering yum updated and you said it digivolved, yeah
ME: it couldn't be a yum update, as it changed behavior before `sudo yum update` finished.
ME: so, clearly, it was a digivolution
