Ok, if this is non-sense, then it's time to stop using Tumbleweed?

Well, Factory/Tumbleweed updates are painful because of having to download the metadata all the time.
??? I don't blame zypper as messenger.. all I said is that it's still learning some of the feature set - AND most such messages can even be broken down to a packaging error (not in case of digikam though)
And it would be very nice if libzypp could learn how to skip this completely. /etc/zypp/zypp.conf metadata.appstream.download = {never,on-demand,always} I would not even start to argue if the default would not be "never", but "on-demand" :-P
This noice is there and if it is independent of the DE than it's even worse and what's causing it should be removed.
RIGHT! Zypper is DE-agnostic. I would say if zypper behaves different based on the DE used, it would be broken. It's a CLI tool afeer all! NO DE is at fault here. digikam is a KDE app right? One can argue that Upstream CARES for this kind of meta info for Software Centers: or they would not ship the files.
I still stand: let's FIX things, not reduce features.
I still stand: don't waste everyone's time and bandwidth for marginal benefits of a few users.
(please keep the thread short so it does not bypass the size af AppStream metadata that I already have to download)
You don't, just use my patched libzypp from home:seife:testing! :-) And to exceed the size of these metadata, we would need to write waaaay more mails :-) Have fun, seife -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
