[opensuse] zypper cache cleanup while running
Hi, I'm in the middle of live update of my 10.3 to 11 (over the internet). What worries me is, that my /var gets full, i.e. /var/cache/zypper continues to increase. From what I see, zypper installs immediately the packages it downloads, but keeps them in var/cache/zypper. So, is it safe to delete older rpm's from the cache, as they are already installed? I mean packages, which were installed during the this same run? Will zypper need them later in the install process? -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi, you should safaly delete it. also if you don't want to cache packages, then in new zypper use zypper mr --no-keep-packages --all and nothing is cached... via 'zypper clean' you delete your package cache JR -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
