Rally is a GuiLoader-based application developed as a sample project under Crow Designer to aid in software development.
What sets Rally apart from other package management software is that it employs a Parallel Installer that downloads and updates packages simultaneously. This allows for a potentially significant boost in performance. The name Rally reflects the application's orientation towards speedy and reliable processing, with the same meaning as in events like the "Paris-Dakar endurance rally."
Crow Designer is a GUI builder for the GTK+ toolkit that is used to create multi-platform GTK+ based applications with minimal GUI coding. It is a powerful, yet lightweight, advanced IDE-embeddable RAD tool that can be used by both experienced GTK+ users and newcomers. The project is designed to produce a tool that is coherent and productive, with a tree-based Property Explorer that can solve many GUI constructing tasks in a versatile manner without any additional popup dialogs.
GuiLoader Library is a compact GuiXml loader library that allows GTK+ applications to create GUI widgets and objects at runtime from GuiXml resource files. It is written in the C language as a GObject subclass and has a language-independent API. The library is designed to easily wrap for any language that has GTK+ bindings.
To use Rally, the following requirements must be met: GTK+ >= 2.10.x, guiloader-c++, curl rpm-libs, zlib, openssl, xdg-utils, and usermode. Overall, Rally is an effective and efficient software package for RPM package management via an intuitive tree-less graphical interface.
