Then it is out-of-date. But still is. And not everyone runs rawhide to make it a difference when metadata is few days old. >> It is faster to enter long password to use sudo than to wait until dnf >> fetch useless copy of metadata. > > Agreed, which is why I always run dnf under sudo even for query > operations. I hate having to do that. Also dislike fact that if I do not do that then have to wait and wait and wait until it finally fetch metadata to show me result. DNF started as user can not install packages so why it can not just use systemwide metadata? >> Debian has APT. APT uses one copy of metadata. Be wise. Like Debian. > > Do we know how?

YUM/DNF tries to do that every time they think that metadata is too old. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
