I have an x86_64 rawhide machine that's configured to exclude all i?86 packages from updates, and lately it takes a *very* long time to go through the global exclude list during a yum update. If I remove "exclude=*i?86" from yum.conf, the update proceeds at the speed to which I'm accustomed. With "exclude=*.i?86" in yum.conf, an (empty) update takes up to a minute and a half, and pegs both my cpus. Without "exclude=*i?86," the same update takes less than 3 seconds. With extras-development enabled, processing the global exclude list takes over 5 minutes. Is this a bug, or expected behavior with rawhide yum (3.1.3-2.fc7)? ********** WITHOUT exclude=*.i?86 ************ [root@osprey ~]# time yum --disablerepo=extras-development update Loading "skip-broken" plugin Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion real 0m2.227s user 0m1.454s sys 0m0.759s ********** WITH exclude=*.i?86 ************ [root@hawk ~]# time yum --disablerepo=extras-development update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion real 1m21.764s user 0m49.367s sys 0m31.317s ********** WITH exclude=*.i?86 ************ [root@hawk ~]# time yum update Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion real 5m10.460s user 3m27.026s sys 1m43.108s -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
