Ye, but Smart still downloads the complete filelist of updates when it changes (which is every 2-3 days these days). Thats 14Meg every couple of days - I dont have unlimited traffic on my DSL so it works out to be an expensive exercise. Im not yet completly sure if the new package manager in 11.0 does not do this - everyone is very happy with its speed, but it seems no one knows it it still downloads the complete update filelists or just diff increments?
Manne ps. the Smart GUI also still doesnt have a tick box for keeping packages.
Not sure what you're looking for but for example if you enable keeppackages for the update repo then it (libzypp) keeps the delta rpms. What it doesn't do is replace old versions of files with newer versions therefore the size of /var/cache/zypp/packages keeps on increasing. I'm not quite sure if this feature was finished in 11.0 but in 11.1 beta1 libzypp seems to detect already cached packages and doesn't download them again. You can also specify where the package cache is located in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
