[doc] Issue in "Synchronizing repository metadata"
Last modified: 2024-03-22 10:40:08 UTC
Synchronizing repository metadata: https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP3/html/SLES-all/cha-rmt-mirroring.html#sec-rmt-mirroring-synchronization The main "complain" is that it is not written one should enable rmt timers... I do not remember how I installed RMT but I see "presents" are "disabled" by default: ---%>--- # systemctl list-unit-files |grep rmt rmt-server-migration.service disabled disabled rmt-server-mirror.service disabled disabled rmt-server-sync.service disabled disabled rmt-server-systems-scc-sync.service disabled disabled rmt-server.service enabled disabled rmt-server.target disabled disabled rmt-server-mirror.timer disabled disabled rmt-server-sync.timer disabled disabled rmt-server-systems-scc-sync.timer disabled disabled ---%<--- Thus, RMT server runs (rmt-server.service unit) but I was quite surprised not having updates (mirrored updates). There is `systemctl status rmt-server-sync.timer' command, but it does NOT explicitly say to "enable"/start it. Thus please do: - add an explicit commands to enable/start needed units: systemctl enable --now <unit> - check wording of this part: "... is done with the systemd timer rmt-server-sync.timer." To be technially precise, I assume it wanted to say: The synchronization is timer-based activated by systemd <unit name> timer unit. That is, probably "is done" -> "is timer-based __activated__", so one understands clearly it is activated/triggered regularly by .timer unit.
My issue is probably due to not using YaST. In any case, we should not expect all would use YaST ;) Thx.
