[Bug 255458] New: 'Skip All' button while loading Software Management
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=255458 Summary: 'Skip All' button while loading Software Management Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: novell@custardfd.org.uk QAContact: jsrain@novell.com I use a number of package sources that take a long time to update when I load YaST Software Management. If I want to install a package from the openSUSE source, I know that I don't need the package list to be up-to-date, so being able to skip the sometimes >1 minute download process would be useful. For the purposes of consistency, I would suggest a 'Skip All' button that doesn't process any updated package lists, even if some have already been downloaded. I realise this may introduce the risk of downloading out-of-date packages with known vulnerabilities, but people with may additional sources probably accept themselves to that risk anyway. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

In the popup with download progress? I want to add "Cancel" button there which would have the same functionality. (There could be a popup asking whether to abort just the current download or all.) (Currently you can use a workaround: disable autorefresh in the installation source module and refresh the sources there only when needed.) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

I suggested 'Skip All' because I think it is clearer (Does cancel abort the entire Software Management process?) and safer (some repositories that update on a frequent basis may make assumptions about the availability of certain package versions from other repositories the user is expected to have added). I would be happy to disable automatic sources refresh if there was a way to 'refresh all' Software Management, otherwise refreshing a number of repositories might become a frustrating experience :) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
