A change is detected by downloading one or two metadata index files (small files) and comparing the checksums of the cached ones and the remote ones. If the files differ, the repository is out of date and will be refreshed. .LP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-commit+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-commit+help@opensuse.org
