It should report "Reading package database ..."

Reading is reported, building not, as this was not needed before. This is done during target initialization. It used to say "Initializing Target" (this is still shown in -v). Should i move this to the default verbosity again? BTW-------------- It takes quite a long time for me, too. cca 5 secs on a cold start, no other CPU/disk load. Easily reproducible with $ zypper clean -m anyrepo $ sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches $ zypper se foo It then takes cca 5 secs for me to build the solv. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

WONTFIX, show simple message in zypper (as in -v, see c#4), or implement full progress reporting? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(possibly end with \r instead of \n so that the next output overwrites it again) is fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ending it with \r is not enough, since the following string may not cover the whole original message. Additionally, rpmdb2solv is also executed on several other locations IIRC. An ideal solution would be a callback from libzypp. Ma, Duncan? Can i add one? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(In reply to comment #10 from Michael Andres)

There are also several fast 'rpmdb2solv -n' calls that do not even build a solv file nor look at the rpm database. Just the one in Target::load might take some time.

But also only sometimes.

A callback does not help much as long as rpmdb2solv does not trigger it.

We had to change rpmdb2solv to

- While we're at it: support '-o outputfile'. Security is worried about all output redirection we use.

- Support --hash and/or --percent writing ticks or percentage to stderr(!).

I would like this, too, but let's write the progress info only if there is some bigger operation, like building the .solv file, otherwise not, so that we don't write too much output in apps. Michael (mls), will you do this? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
