PackageHub Modules, Extensions and Size

Hi all,

What is the difference between “SUSE-PackageHub-15-Pool” and “SLE-Module-Packagehub-Subpackages15-Pool”?

How big is “SUSE-PackageHub-15-Pool for sle-15-x86_64” ? (I am asking since we are using an SMT server, and as such the only option to use PackageHub would be to mirror it to the SMT server I guess?)

Thanks,
Marki

Hi
See https://packagehub.suse.com/

Currently I see 8,991 packages (which can be multiple rpms);

This is the build repository location(s) (not the one you register with though);
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Backports:/SLE-15/standard/
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Backports:/SLE-15:/Update/standard/

Above should give you an idea of space requirements. It should mirror down fine onto your SMT system.

SUSE-PackageHub-15-Pool (x86_64) is the ‘Product’ name SLE-Module-Packagehub-Subpackages15-Pool (x86_64) and Updates are the actual packages for your arch eg x86_64 there are others, debug and source rpms as well…

You should only have to add the product and it should pull in the rest as required.

SLE-Module-Packagehub-Subpackages seems to be dormant.

The main thing seems to be “SLE-Packagehub-Standard”. It’s downloaded 20 GB and hasn’t even left “noarch”, I’ve stopped it for today.
