Hi to all,

I use opensuse (before suse linux) for several years and I hoped that the 10.3 release was faster updating the packages since the package manager was redone.

Right now when I try to update, the update program download every file started with "patch-" from the server and it takes forever to do so and I don't have a fast internet connection. Is there any other way to update my system?

After a few months there will be too many "patch-" files to download. Can the update software be improved so the info regarding the new files to download be synchronized with the already installed updates?

I used Debian before and even with a slow internet connection the update of the new package list didn't took too much time and was only a gzipped file.

Hi Luis, Have you checked does YOU download patches right after update is done. Recently there is a lot of updates every few days, sometimes is same program updated few times. I'm on broadband so I can't follow what is downloaded, but I can see patches later in the list. The other way would be to create your own update repository, and download content of online repository at your own pace. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
