Yum is downloading metadata when it shouldn't have to - surely it can't need metadata when I am asking it to clean everything? Yum version is 3.2.4 btw. root@linux~]# yum clean all Loading "changelog" plugin development 100% |=========================| 2.1 kB 00:08 primary.sqlite.bz2 100% |=========================| 5.1 MB 05:12 Cleaning up Everything Thanks!
Thanks - found the bug - fixed in upstream will be out in 3.2.5 and later. patch which fixes it is here: http://devel.linux.duke.edu/gitweb/?p=yum.git;a=commitdiff;h=623233e928ae79040a4c75f6eb7548ce7cd56cbb

My bug writes also something about a filtering these unnecessary downloads for yum update or yum install: May be yum can detect this after downloading 2-3 files and re-download repomd.xml from same server as primary.sqlite file. Is it possible to implement something like this?
install/update downloads of metadata is another thing that is hard to address right now. If you're talking about a stale repomd.xml file then some of that is supposed to be handled by mirrormanager.
