missing ability to switch off use of delta rpms
Last modified: 2007-08-31 20:21:25 UTC
up to 10.0 it was possible to switch off use of delta rpms via YOU_USE_DELTAS in /etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate. On older hardware or on systems with sufficient bandwith such as systems that update from a local mirror it is undesirable to use deltas. Switching them off can therefore speed up the update process. Please reintroduce that switch.
Does libzypp support it?
I should honor /etc/sysconfig
If we can get a fix in libzypp, I'd definitely accept it. However, since this didn't work after 10.0, it's not a direct regression.
Do we need to use /etc/sysconfig/onlineupdate, can we use /etc/zypp/zypp.conf ?
Use of sysconfig has the advantage that it's a familiar place and people can find it in the yast2 sysconfig editor. Personally I don't care.
Added ability to switch off use of patch and delta rpms via zypp.conf: [main] download.use_patchrpm = no download.use_deltarpm = no Fixed in libzypp-3.22.0
