any news in this one ? :)

not afaik, perhaps you should ask someone who can know this?
i don't even know how to use this, i just have a few mga's and want to remotely manage their software. i have no clue how that even works, IF it works, or even if it's something that actually could do what i want...

in other words, my biggest problem is likely documentation

@ Thierry

Can you look into this, please? Should this work and is there documentation?

What do you mean by urpmi-parallel? urpmi --parallel?

And what is urpmi-ka? I can't find anything about a package or a command with that name, nor about a -k option to urpmi (although the -a option is mentioned in the man page).

afaik they are both some kind of remote urpmi handling thing. and that's where my knowledge ends.

just exactly that, there is almost no doc on this, except that i think it was rda posting a message on mageia-dev mentioning this.

i have no idea how it works, how i can set it up, anything. which is exactly why i reported this bug.

@ rda

Can you please enlighten us?

I have no idea what this is about. A pointer to the said message would help me grab the context.

@ AL13N

Can you please give that pointer

@ Thierry

Please tell whether you know what AL13N is talking about

i've quickly looked on my emails, but can't seem to find it quickly, i'll research more thorough tonight.

(also, i'm not sure the person was rda)

I never used that feature

@ AL13N

closing this bug for now, you'll reopen it when you have more information ;)
