Can synthesis and hdlist be used at same time ? I can't use only synthesis file because I use a lot urpmf to find a package from a header file, to install it later. A nice idea is having the two files for a source. * "urpmi.update -a" will update synthesis file * "urpmi.update -a --full" will update hdlist file (or another option than --full)
So normal users won't see changes, and advanced users will have to add an option to theirs scripts :) urpmf could print a warning if the hdlist is older than the synthesis. Advantages: full descriptions available for all packages, and only small synthesis updated when checking for updated packages Emmanuel Le Jeudi 28 Novembre 2002 15:19, Fran�ois Pons a �crit : > Le jeu 28/11/2002 � 13:53, Lea Gris a �crit : > > With urpmi you *have* to download entire filelists everytime you want to > > download/upgrade package from constantly upgrading mirrors because > > serverside new or updated packages don't magically go to your local > > filelist.
