[zypp-devel] "Checking for file conflicts" - slower than it used to be?
by Adam Spiers 24 Apr '17

24 Apr '17

Is it just me or does the "Checking for file conflicts" stage of a zypper install sometimes take a lot longer than it used to? My memory is that it always used to be extremely fast, whereas now it can take tens of seconds in some cases, or even minutes. It seems very strange to me that it would ever need to take more than a fraction of a second. Is there a good reason for this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org

[zypp-devel] [Modularity] Module metadata proposal (fwd)
by Michael Schroeder 16 Apr '16

FYI: ----- Forwarded message from Petr ??abata <contyk(a)redhat.com> ----- > Good news, everyone, > > the first draft of the module metadata format is now available > for you to comment on. We've decided to go with YAML so it > should be fairly readable. You can view the latest version here: > > https://pagure.io/fm-metadata/blob/master/f/metadata.yaml > > What is is: > The file defines basic properties of the module such as its > name, version, description, licenses, references to upstream > documentation or its content. Currently only RPM content > is supported but this can be easily extended in the future. > The metadata file is meant as both input and output of the > module build process (don't confuse it with package build > process), with various tools adding various new data to it, > such as vendor and buildsystem identifiers, timestamp of the > build, autogenerated lists of licenses or whatever you can > think of (well, maybe not whatever but close). The output is > then placed in the generated repository, container image or > any other module deliverable and can be processed by tools and > services consuming and delivering modules. > > What is isn't: > It's not a SPEC file. It doesn't say how to build individual > packages. And it's not a simple comps group either. It can > and does provide lots more additional data. > > It's not perfect and it's constantly evolving. Please, do > comment, ask questions and suggest improvements. > > Thanks, > P Cheers, Michael. -- Michael Schroeder mls(a)suse.de SUSE LINUX GmbH, GF Jeff Hawn, HRB 16746 AG Nuernberg main(_){while(_=~getchar())putchar(~_-1/(~(_|32)/13*2-11)*13);} -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: zypp-devel+owner(a)opensuse.org
