OK, just now, I did another clean install of Fedora 21 Workstation, reboot, login, went through g-i-s and then walked away. 10 minutes later, /var/cache/PackageKit/ looks like: # du -sh * 0 downloads 50M hawkey 211M metadata 25 minutes later: # du -sh * 0 downloads 50M hawkey 398M metadata If I go to /var/cache/PackageKit/metadata/updates/packages/ indeed there's a pile of rpms, so this is package data not just metadata. But nevertheless this tranche is being silently downloaded by packagekitd and I have no obvious way to opt out of this behavior, and it begins fairly soon after first login with out me having launched any applications, including Software. -- Chris Murphy -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
