Zypper gains parallel downloads to speed up package management |
 |
The openSUSE project is experimenting with faster package management thanks to parallel connections introduced in the Zypper package management software. "The update provides two main features: an ability to fetch packages using concurrent connections, and a simplified media backend that improves connection reuse and metadata handling. Both features are currently in an experimental phase and must be manually enabled. Before the feature is officially enabled by default, parallel package downloading can be enabled by setting an environment variable before executing a Zypper operation. This allows multiple packages to be downloaded simultaneously, improving overall speed." Details on the change along with tips for enabling parallel downloads are provided in the project's news post. |
