Michael Andres: libzypp-6.16.0: Download policies for commit

Tags:
With libzypp-6.16.0 there is a new option commit.downloadMode available in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf.
  • DownloadOnly: Just download all packages to the local cache. Do not install. Implies a dry-run.

  • DownloadInAdvance: First download all packages to the local cache. Then start to install.

  • DownloadInHeaps: Similar to DownloadInAdvance, but try to split the transaction into heaps, where at the end of each heap a consistent system state is reached. (Not yet supported by the solver, so currenty the same as DownloadInAdvance)

  • DownloadAsNeeded: Alternating download and install. Packages are cached just to avoid CD/DVD hopping. This is the traditional behavior.

  • NOT SET: If the value is not set, empty or unknown, we pick some save default.
