Yum-presto is a plugin for yum that looks for deltarpms rather than rpms whenever they are available. This has the potential of saving a lot of bandwidth when downloading updates. A Deltarpm is the difference between two rpms. If you already have foo-1.0 installed and foo-1.1 is available, yum-presto will download the deltarpm for foo-1.0 => 1.1 rather than the full foo-1.1 rpm, and then build the full foo-1.1 package from your installed foo-1.0 and the downloaded deltarpm.
Runs yum update on system boot. This allows machines that have been turned off for an extended amount of time to become secure immediately, instead of waiting until the next early morning cron job.
yum-updatesd provides a daemon which checks for available updates and can notify you when they are available via email, syslog or dbus.

jay/yydebug supports tracing and animation for a Java-based parser generated by jay. An implementation of yyDebug is passed as an additional argument to yyparse() to trace a Java-based parser generated by jay with option -t set. yyDebugAdapter produces one-line messages, by default to standard output. The messages are designed to be filtered by a program such as grep. yyAnim provides an animation of the parsing process
