[opensuse] Where to look at zypper cache in 11.0?
Listmates, Has /var/cache/zypp/zypp.db gone the way of the dodo? 20:08 zion~> locate zypp.db 20:11 zion~> The reason for asking is that I found it useful to delete zypp.db on occasion and use zypper ref to keep the file compact. I have no complaints with zypper in 11.0 and it is fast as hell - a really good thing. I also notice the complete new layout in /var/cache/zypp, but curiosity begs an answer. An anal "cat like" tendency. Would there ever be a need for a "zypper ref" anymore? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.

The reason for asking is that I found it useful to delete zypp.db on occasion and use zypper ref to keep the file compact. I have no complaints with zypper in 11.0 and it is fast as hell - a really good thing. I also notice the complete new layout in /var/cache/zypp, but curiosity begs an answer.

There is no need for that anymore. The generated .solv files are regenerated on the fly and are already as compact as needed.
Would there ever be a need for a "zypper ref" anymore?
Of course, for explicitly refreshing the repositories. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Ciao, Marcus There is also zypper clean which wipes out everything including any downloaded rpms kept through keeppackages=1. Regards Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So you can "keeppackages" with zypper, great. That was the one feature of Smart I cant live without. Where do you set this feature? Manne -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

When you create a repo using zypper ar -k repourl it will automatically do it. You can also edit the .repo files in /etc/zypp/repos.d/ and set keeppackages=1. The files are kept in /var/cache/zypp/packages/ under the name of the repository they were downloaded to. I have my own local reposiories created with createrepo and I periodically move the rpms to them.

Mmm... I think that deleting those rpms should be different and separate from cleaning databases. The rpms may still be needed for other installs. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
