[opensuse-factory] opensuse-updater - fetching online metadata
Hello! Just installed the flash update via opensuse-updater on 10.2 with zen-free packagemanagement. Now one question: Is it necessary to download all the metadata-stuff for several Broadband-minutes, while the Applet already has the information, that there is ONE update available? If yes: Is there a clever way to get rid of this necessity for future releases? If no: Any chance to change this behaviour before or for the next release?

I also noted that since I added the FTP tree as a source sometimes (but not always) checking for online update takes a very long time. I didn't report as a bug, because I'm not sure that this was the cause, but I suspect it still fetches the metadata, even if refresh is disabled (similar to #218705 for yast).

the metadata is not downloaded if it has not changed. Duncan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
