Rally project is a part of the Crow Designer project and it was developed as a sample GuiLoader-based application. This front end provides RPM package management functionality via an intuitive tree-less graphical interface. Users are able to browse available repositories, search for packages, perform updates, installations and removals.
Rally employs Parallel Installer which downloads and updates packages simultaneously - potentially reaching a vast performance boost. The name of this application reflects its orientation for speedy and reliable processing, having the same meaning as in e.g. "Paris-Dakar endurance rally".
About Crow Designer
Crow is a modern GUI builder for the GTK+ toolkit.

About GuiLoader Library
GuiLoader is a high-performance and compact GuiXml loader library. This library allows GTK+ applications to create GUI widgets and objects at run-time from GuiXml resource files.
