[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed - Review of the week (2015/19)
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
The openSUSE Conference was certainly a highlight this week. Yet, we
managed to give you some snapshots in this time as well.
The most notable updates this week were:
* Linux kernel 4.0 plus update to 4.0.1 all in one week
* GNOME 3.16.1 update
* More work done to get AppStream Metadata in a valid shape in ALL
repositories; this means GNOME Software (and other Software Centers to
come) don't only profit from the metadata of the Tumbleweed main
repositories, but actually also load metadata from 3rd party repos.
(it seems the infrastructure is now in place - GNOME:Factory for
example is publishing valid metadata already)
What's coming next?
* The current snapshot is being held up by some major changes: Ruby
has been updated to version 2.2 (with version 2.1 remaining in the
repository for the ones requiring it). There are quite some rebuilds
happening and it can well be another day or two until we can release
this upon you.
Wish you all a good weekend, enjoy the fun and happy hacking

This metadata download in zypper is extremely annoying (it takes a lot of time and bandwidth when hitting a slow server). And if one is not using some Desktop "App Store", it is a total waste of resources AFAICT. Where would I need to file a request that zypp does not download this, but leaves the retrieval to the AppStore that actually uses it?
