Is there a reason why the yum repodata (inst-source/suse/repodata) in factory only updates every few days to a week? It seems like this should be getting updated at least nightly as new packages are added and updated. Greg

It is only updated when new updates are released. Ciao, Marcus

Ok, but it appears sometimes rpms are updated without a version/release number bump? I periodically see drpmsync pull over deltas with no change to the repodata. This can sometimes happen a couple days in a row, then finally a big push comes and the repodata is updated. A case in point, on my ia64 factory box, openssh-4.2p1-18 is installed. It requires libopensc.so.1, but the openssh rpm in factory with the same version/release number now requires libopensc.so.2. # rpm -q openssh openssh-4.2p1-18 # rpm -q --requires openssh | grep opensc libopensc.so.1()(64bit) # rpm -qp --requires openssh-4.2p1-18.ia64.rpm | grep opensc libopensc.so.2()(64bit) Why no version/release number change to the rpm, though the requirements and what it was built against changed? I would expect at least the release number to get bumped if the contents of the build root changed. Greg

I see that we currently do NOT get updates every night/day. And in my experience the repodata directory gets updated EVERY time. Cheers -e -- Eberhard Moenkeberg (emoenke@gwdg.de, em@kki.org)
