Seeing what YaST is doing, I was confused. It starts with downloading many .pat-files. For each platform! Not only i386/i586 but also x64 and pcc. I will never use those things I guess on an i586-system so why are the downloaded? I guess there is a good reason for cause the ZEN/YaST-stuff has been many times under the microscope. But could somebody explain it to me?
This cannot be a desired feature. I guess it's rather a "rough edge" or maybe people are concentrating efforts on "real" functionality defects right now. Consider reporting this as a bug with severity "Enhancement" (there is no functionality defect and the files are small, but anyway, downloading these files is unnecessary => The package manager can be enhanced by not downloading them).
In the same category: Downloading all description translations. (or at least DU, CZ an EN). I guess YaST can recognize that I use Dutch and English packages only and it won't show me any German info so why is it downloaded? Otherwise, would be a very nice option :P
Yes. packages.DU is not a translation file, it contains disk usage information about the packages. YaST uses this in order to determine whether a package is installable. The package size alone is not sufficient for complex partitioning setups. The other packages.XX files are translations. I don't know why all of them are downloaded, but IIRC - correct me if I'm wrong - they were not with the old yast2-packagemanager.
