Hi,
Each week I do a "zypper dup" of factory it means downloading about 1.6 GiB, meaning a minimum of 4 hours, probably 8. Would it be possible to reduce the size somehow? Deltas, perhaps?
I tried to update yesterday, but some packages were not yet synced to the mirrors, thus instead of updating overnight I have to do it on Saturday, loosing one test day of the the weekend.
Welcome to factory!
Many times, when the download of about 2 GB was at 95% with smart, the files in the mirrors changed, and then appears dependency problems. The only way to use the 95% of the 2 GB of packages, was, installing it by hand and forcing dependencys, and later making a new update, to complete it. After 8 or 9 "forced" upgrades, appears rpmdb corruptions.
Cheers
Yes, not nice at all. I noticed that with smaller updates, some 600MB. When the wrong pkgs change, or pkgs move from unstable to stable, you have no updater at all. I had to reinstall from a3KDE cd yesterday for that reason. Still very much probs from that.. ;( But it seems to progresss now. QT was wrong version when update stopped, so yast not working.. But luckily this time zypper does, last time nothing worked, no rpm-data base, no pkgmngr... Last days very many server time outs.. this is killing the complete os..;( The downloads are incredibly fast now :) (if only there were no server-timeouts.... -- Nice continuance of your life to you...
