Rawhide. I refer to Rawhide! I cannot afford spending time on this issue with F22 in addition to Rawhide. "dnf --refresh update" here **always** redownloads the metadata. > Just try it out.

Whether "--refresh" doesn't remove the metadata is not of interest, since it redownloads it afterwards anyway. And whether it "matches the documentation" remains to be seen. I haven't examined the implementation. Does --refresh really do anything to confirm the checksum of the metadata cache before deciding to redownload? Then why does it redownload always here? -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
