It automatically computes dependencies and figures out what things should occur to install packages. yum makes it easier to maintain groups of machines without having to manually update each one using [[rpm]].
 
Features include:
 
* Support for multiple repositories
* Simple configuration
* Dependency calculation
* Fast operation
* RPM-consistent behavior
* Package group support, including multiple-repository groups
