https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=345425 Summary: repository refreshing and opensue updater Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: xenoterracide@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- this is semi related to bug 344633 and 344637 I've had to disable the repositories from refreshing automagically every time I try to do something, because I don't have a constant internet connection and even if I did it's annoying that they are refreshing every time I try to do something. I'd like a setting that tells only opensuse updater to refresh them (this assumes it refreshes them all, I know it doesn't check all repos for updates, or something). instead the updater relies on whether I have auto-refresh enabled. since I don't it has become useless cruft. 1 possible solution would be to add a setting next to auto-refresh to update with opensuse updater. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I'm not sure i understand, do you mean xml _output_ perhaps? Because i see no problem with invoking zypper refresh <repo> even now except the output. Please excuse my unclear question. I mean some mechanism within the xml to tell zypper to refresh its repos before it starts an operation like checking for patches when autorefresh is disabled:

(ugly xml-like syntax) <refresh/> <checkpatches/> <checkupdates/>

...

Yes, it seems i have to work on it ASAP, since you guys depend on it too much :O) That would be great but it isn't that urgent. I would like to add the xml-in/out mechanism to the updater for the alpha version. Don't hurry.

I still don't understand why not simply executing zypper refresh before checking for updates. You can also do it per repo (refresh only the update repos). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I still don't understand why not simply executing zypper refresh before checking for updates. You can also do it per repo (refresh only the update repos). As we decided not to use checkpatches-wrapper anymore, checking for patches runs with user privileges but "zypper refresh" needs root privileges. How can I refresh the update repo without annoying the user with a password prompt?

If we need the suid wrapper, let's just use it. Allright, we can rename it to zypper-wrapper or something similar now.

This would mean to add another suid-root wrapper and to duplicate code in each applet for calling two programs for one action. ii) Writing a wrapper for the wrappers: A refresh-and-check-wrapper that calls a suid-root'ed zypper-refresh-wrapper and after that checks for pachtes. Writing a wrapper for a wrapper isn't really nice. iii) Adding a refresh before checking for patches in zypper. Perhaps as a option of the xml-updates command or even hard-wired. I would prefer iii.

What about having zypper-refresh-wrapper only and run the query commands (list-updates, patches, search, info) as user. That would mean having a shell script 'zypper-refresh-and-check' with the following two calls: /usr/sbin/zypper-refresh-wrapper /usr/bin/zypper --xmlout list-updates -t package -t patch

Yes, I guess it might work but I think it isn't the cleanest solution. - This would add another not really needed zypper helper script. - Getting concatenated snippets of xml might confuse the applets (particularly opensuseupdater-gnome, as its xml parser isn't very tolerant) I'd prefer the functionality embedded into zypper because 'refresh' and 'list-updates' belongs together. Is there any cause not to add this to zypper? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
