Thanks Will, I will consider doing that. I was more looking for a message like "Repositories up to date, nothing to do" as other software I've used does.On Mon, 25 Nov 2024 at 21:46, Stephen Morris <steve.morris.au@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:

Yes, but I would expect those messages to only be produced in the situation you have shown, where it actually did find something to do. If there is nothing to do I would expect those two messages to not be displayed and a message to the effect that the local environment was up to date.On Sun, 24 Nov 2024 at 22:21, Stephen Morris <steve.morris.au@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
1). Why is it producing the messages "Updating and loading repositories:" and "Repositories loaded." with nothing between them which means that it didn't do anything? This functionality is independent of whether the command is issued under sudo or not.
I would suspect that "Updating and loading repositories:" is checking the upstream repo metadata (if you've ever managed your own repos, this is the data created/updated by createrepo based on the RPM contents in the repo directory.)
So if I understand you then, your primary concern here is the semantic accuracy of the messages?
> Updating and loading repositories
> Repositories loaded.
And you would rather something like:
Scenario: DNF Cache Outdated> Checking repositories cache status> Cache out-of-date, updating from upstream repositories> Repository cache updated
Scenario: DNF Cache Current> Checking repositories cache status> Cache current, nothing to see here.
(Or whatever.)
You might want to take this to the upstream project, maybe submitting a bug report, documentation improvement, or PR if you feel particularly invested?
With the explanation of what dnf is doing, if an end used runs the dnf clean command with whatever obligatory sub-command they chose will their repositories lose all knowledge of what packages have been updated, or will dnf update/upgrade refresh that data irrespective of whether --refresh is specified or not?
regards,
Steve
