[Bug 1009745] No Appstream data installed after installation

If it is called from within the plugin packages %post, then it will most probably not work if the package is installed using the DVD install (using any offline install/update). AFAIK yast does not transfer the repos into the system before the installation has ended. So a collector won't see the repos in use. Installing the package in a running system however it would be possible to call e.g.

ZYPP_PLUGIN_APPDATA_FORCE_COLLECT=1 zypper -n lr >/dev/null 2>&1 from within the plugin packages %post(if initial install: $1==1). 'zypper lr' is readonly, so you can call it even from within a zypper install.

The appdata plugin package could provide a shell script called e.g. zypper-appdatarefresh, executing the above line (maybe supporting 'zypper-appdatarefresh --force' executing 'zypper -n ref -f' instead). Then you can call 'zypper-appdatarefresh' in your %post($1==1). People can easily call 'zypper-appdatarefresh' manually (as root!) if the initial install did not collect the data. If it's installed in $PATH, it'll be available as 'zypper appdatarefresh' too, 'zypper help appdatarefresh' will display the manpage for 'zypper-appdatarefresh' (if you provide one). If that's ok, I'd adapt libzypp to evaluate $ZYPP_PLUGIN_APPDATA_FORCE_COLLECT. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
