Bug 231258 - ZMD sucks the CPU power at boot-up and during refresh
Use opensuse-updater instead of zmd.
Andreas,
Is this the official stratement to all questions / problems regarding zmd / rug when confronted with problems? So this means that zmd/rug are going to die and no work is done on them anymore?
No, it's not the official answer. But compared with the other problems (ok, I could say use KDE or XFCE;-), there is another tool that does the job as well. Note that we're looking very closely at rug/zmd problems right now to see what to do for the future.
I have to say my last tests with zypper were not that well. Refreshing the catalog all over whenever I wanted to do something appeared to me even slower than having a refresh of the catalogs when I boot and then in a configurable interval. And after I set zmd to download 3 files in parallel, even the install process works a bit faster now.
With 10.3 I expect that those issues will be solved in a much better way. If you see shortcomings in zypper, please report bugs so that they get fixed, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, aj@suse.de, http://www.suse.de/~aj/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
