Mark,
look at TCP/IP traffic. There is nothing if you disable refresh for all sources. What I see is short burst when it is refreshing update repository, packman and guru, and than nothing. The rest of activity is data base check.
Thanks Rajko,
My impression is that somehow local data base was "invalidated". I did not analyze traffic, but I used "zypper -v up" and also observed it in YaST2 message boxes, that both updaters were definitely re-reading patches and package descriptions from non-oss and oss repositories on download.opensuse.org. So it took a lot of time (and during this time I observed zypper indicating [-21879%] readiness of package file :-( ) . I thought it may be something with my home machine, but today I ran update on my office machine that was NOT on the network yesterday and I can see that zypper re-reads oss and non-oss repositories also. Looks like there is some indication for updater to re-read repository even though it is marked as non-refreshable.
yup, here it re-reads a local directory that once was used for installation of one program setup that needed lots of little things ( multimedia stuff ) once the things were installed I marked it not to be refreshed and not to be used.. ( status is disabled ) It was read and re-read all the time even tho it's marked disabled . Fortunately it's a small directory, if it were large , or if there were lots of subdirectories it would be a royal pita. -- j I've lived in the real world enough, we're all here because we ain't all there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
