Yesterday, I didn't pay much attention, but dnf updated the system successfully. Today, it also worked, and I noticed that it didn't even bother downloading the Updates repository. It only refreshed the test-updates repository, and everything ran fine again. This is a winner if it keeps doing that, as the updates repository is at 21 MB now. If most of that can be skipped every day, a real win for bandwidth, and a speed up in time to update too. Thanks for this, great addition to dnf. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
