[Bug 208452] New: YaST: do not download (as default) all architectures metadata
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208452 Summary: YaST: do not download (as default) all architectures metadata Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: azerion@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com
Seeing what YaST is doing, I was confused. It starts with downloading many .pat-files. For each platform! Not only i386/i586 but also x64 and pcc. I will never use those things I guess on an i586-system so why are the downloaded? I guess there is a good reason for cause the ZEN/YaST-stuff has been many times under the microscope. But could somebody explain it to me?
Azerion ============================= ZYPP is creating a full cache of all metadata available to be able working without the network connection afterwards. Optimizing this behavior might be a good idea. Stano ============================== Only thing that this behavior is usefull: - if you replace your processor with a new type (and so probably your whole motherboard) - and you do not have an network connection. For all those other situations (read: 99.99%) I think it is a bloat.

Usually, fixes to SLE10 are applied to the source code which is recompiled for all architectures. Splitting it up into separate architectures probably doesn't gain us much.

Sorry for not saying that. That patches are noarch I can understand. But sw_single does download all .pat while I only will use i386/i586. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

This bug is about Patterns, not Patches, and the patterns are not 'noarch'. The bug is about all of these files http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/se... http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/se... http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/se... http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/se... http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/se... being downloaded while only the first one of them would be needed on i586 systems, only the third and fourth on x86_64 systems etc. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

For me, each pattern file takes 3-5 seconds (at least) to download.
