https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465223 Summary: zypper: check the network first, then access the repo over network Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- zypper: check the network first, then access the repo over network The problem is when the network is down (no driver loaded, no interface up, simply nothing at hardware level) and zypper still tries hard to make a connection and then ask the user for _each_ repo if she/he would like to abort/ignore/etc. Please, add the hardware capabilities -- if there is no network, there is no chance to get the connection, so if would be really useful to add option "skip all repositories accessible via the network". This is just a suggestion, but main point is -- to make it faster/easier to use only local repos. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
