Description claire robinson 2013-01-04 16:43:52 CET

$ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.9.1.3-2.1.mga2

$ rpm -q perl-URPM
perl-URPM-3.40.2-1.2.mga2

$ rpm -q urpmi
urpmi-6.48.3-2.mga2

All the above from Core Updates.

When testing a jetty update in bug 8465 which needed a large number of packages installing, 227 to be exact, I noticed that after so many downloads in batches of 8 it suddenly downloaded a big lump all at once before returning to batches of 8 again.

It may be coincidence but it occurred after the 128th package.

Also when trying to produce some data for this bug report I noticed the output of --debug seems garbled.

I used the line below with all Testing medias disabled..

# urpmi --debug --bug urpmidata jetty jetty-manual jetty-maven-plugins jetty-javadoc

and then

# tar cfa urpmidata{.tar.xz,}

The resulting file is 6.2Mb which is too large to attach here so please find it at the link below..

I would say it's just that those packages have cross deps
urpmi will create transactions of at least 8 packages, but that doesn't mean all transactions will be 8 packages (that would be impossible depending on package dependancies)
