Hey,
do we have to expect such a mail every few minutes now on the
Maybe the best would be to open a BugZilla tracker or find out what happened?
Will help you and everybody much more than having this message every few minutes.
Greetings, Dominique
Is that the reason why you sent the same message twice? Or are you in some way compelled with zmd, so you do not want to see the app is invalid?
What I am trying to prove with this, is that the app is useless at
time, (as it was in 101), and that we all need something like smart, and smart update checker, instead of this resources consuming monster,
list? this that
is not productive at all....
I think one problem we all experiance here (and I'm not even sure Smart would handle this different) is the fact, the a zmd refresh has to get the current catalog infos from a server (I think it's downloading primary.xml.gz and filelists.xml.gz and maybe even other.xml.gz, can a ZMD expert comment on this?) Especially in the Factory tree which is very unstable at the moment, these catalog files are changing regularly (several times a week) and thus have to be downloaded over and over again. Once the tree is considered stable, these catalogs get downloaded a single time and only the update tree is modified. AFAIK, zmd keeps the timestamps of the last update of these catalogs, and if not changed, decides not to download them. A short look on the files show, that it is downloading around 60MB at the moment. This might take a while. Here, probably the FTP/HTTP[S] Get method is not as cpu friendly as it could be, or maybe it's something completely different. Maybe some zmd guy could comment on this? Or maybe I should start digging around in the sources :-) Greetings, Dominique
