Hmm, what if a repo just added patches - you have to download repomd.xml at least to find out.
huh ? I am missing something ?
Sure,a repo can "suddenly" start providing patches but why it has to download repomd.xml ?
Because it is signed and contains the checksums of other metadata files. If a refreshed patches.xml does not match the checksum listed in repomd.xml (or is not listed at all), it has to be ignored. -- cu, Michael Andres +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Key fingerprint = 2DFA 5D73 18B1 E7EF A862 27AC 3FB8 9E3A 27C6 B0E4 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ Michael Andres YaST Development ma@novell.com SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany, ++49 (0)911 - 740 53-0 +------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
