https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=346126 Summary: zypper writes ALL patches description on every update call Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: dmacvicar@novell.com ReportedBy: kssingvo@novell.com QAContact: dmacvicar@novell.com Found By: Development I'm running daily a home-brewn script to hunt for new files on my machine, to detect intrusion. I'm also running "zypper" to update machine every day. I noticed that the every old update file is written again, when doing an update. For example those files were written/modified last night, even they exist for a long time on machine: [...] /var/cache/zypp/raw/openSUSE-10.3-Updates/repodata/patch-hugin-4614.xml /var/cache/zypp/raw/openSUSE-10.3-Updates/repodata/patch-java-1_6_0-sun-4525.xml /var/cache/zypp/raw/openSUSE-10.3-Updates/repodata/patch-libgnomeui-4545.xml [...] Is this really necessary? Doesn't it speed up only to write only new files, instead of every file? -- 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.
