Description Klaus Kämpf 2007-08-31 07:56:12 UTC

I have factory enabled and zypper tries to refresh it within _minutes_.

E.g.

> zypper rm foo
Refreshing 'factory'

... wait 2-3 minutes

> zypper in foo
Refreshing 'factory'


The refresh interval default should be more saner. E.g. 8 hours (or even 24)

The default is 10 minutes. Even then it doesn't get *refreshed* if not changed. If it gets refreshed even if not changed, then _that_'s a major bug! Otherwise it is just a documentation and missing default zypp.conf bug (minor).

Good idea. Then we can also simply point to that file from the wiki, and from wikies of zypper, yast, etc.

I'd like to take care of this, but if it is urgent, and can't be done a week later, i'd like someone familiar with packaging conf files (%pre, %post, %preun, %postun handling) to take care of it. Duncan maybe? :O)

Created attachment 161895 [details]
zypp.conf draft

I documented the two zypp.conf options i understand and am using right now. Duncan please check these and add yours.

Where do we put it in the svn?

Created a sample zypp.conf based on the one posted yesterday to zypp-devel.
It is packaged as

   %config(noreplace) /etc/zypp/zypp.conf


in libzypp-3.22.5
