oh, okay. We are talking about SLE10. I was thinking of SLE11. I talked to our libzypp expert and you are right. On SLE10 we check the media file.
I found http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Standards_YaST2_Repository_Metadata_media which describes the value in there as usually a timestamp, but doesn't say anything about updating it if/when you update the repository.
Right, on SLE10 the value is used as media id: same value == same media(content). The file is quite small and was used as indicator for a changed repo. Meanwhile internet connections are faster, and you don't have to fight for each byte, so on SLE11 we check the repos index file itself. That's why rebuilding the repo is sufficient. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer Home: http://www.suse.de/~ug - Blog: http://suse.gansert.net listening to: "Babylon" by In Strict Confidence -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-autoinstall+owner@opensuse.org
