This is true, and I know this can be done under DNF, but I'm using that to decide whether it is worth doing the upgrade in terms of the volume of updates that will be put on. If there are only 3 updates to put on then its not necessarily worth putting on the updates yet.On 11/25/24 2:02 PM, Stephen Morris wrote:On 25/11/24 22:43, Tim wrote:I'm just issuing this command to see if there are actually any updates to be applied rather than having dnf upgrade tell me there is nothing to do.On Mon, 2024-11-25 at 09:04 +1100, Stephen Morris wrote:1). Why is it producing the messages "Updating and loading repositories:" and "Repositories loaded." with nothing between them which means that it didn't do anything? This functionality is independent of whether the command is issued under sudo or not.There are probably various things it can do that don't produce any individual progress status. Just a did this, did that, and this...When you fire up dnf, it is going to load data, some of it will be local, some of it may be fetched from the WWW. If you want to look for differences. Purge your dnf cache, do a dnf update (check for updates), watch what happens. Say no and abort. Do another dnf update moments later, and see how it operates from cached data (what progress info you see as it does its thing).What's the benefit of that? If there is something, then you'll just have to run another command anyway.
