If an update aborts due to recent factory changes, you can just restart. Maybe you need that a second and a third time, but usually an update needs only a limited time, so if you continue you will succeed.
This may work for you with your kind of network, but not with mine. An update attempt may take as "little" as four hours. If I trigger it at 2 am, to try catch a period of developers resting, and I go to bed, chances are it will not finish. A restart on the morning does not work, because the repo has changed, so I have to wait till the next night.
No. ftp5 is updating factory every 4 hours.
I may have to try for a week before I finally get it done.
Never.
So I don't.
Incredible. 1 or 2 hours later again, and you would have succeded. Why the hell are you complaining about a renewing process which is running _THIS_ fast? It must be something else what is boring you, so please explain or shut up. Interrupting the update process at night because you need to sleep is generally a good thing. After wakeup, the chance to fulfill is 100%.
