If your network is very fast, your chances of getting caught diminish. My minimal download time is 4 hours, at maximun speed and with no problems, and not considering the install time of each packages; so in fact it gets closer to 6..8 hours. Yesterday I was at it more than 12 hours and failed.
I have a 4mbit connection to the network and downloading factory takes reasonable a few hours...
If in those few hours the repo changes, chances are the update will fail.
I simply can not upgrade during the week, I have to wait till saturday or more.
I don't know what could be done, but as it is, I simply can't update.
well: I'm not sure actually if it's a good idea for everybody to stay with the whole stack at Factory at any time. In your case, why not pick some alpha/beta/rc snapshots and use those, and only update packages of particular interest for you from Factory? Maybe something you reported a bug during a beta and want to see if those got fixed?
The snapshots are already old. Plus, that means burning a dvd, installing fresh several times, etc. What I'm doing is "zypper dup" inside a chroot in 10.3, which allows me to continue working during the several hours of the process. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
