Hi guys.

If you read already the news on package management, there are some open issues 
we would like to have feedback from you.

As you may know, now all operations on repositories are splitted, so you can 
add a repository without downloading metadata. But at some point to operate 
on them you need valid metadata and a binary cache.

An example:

zypper sa http://foo bar
zypper search moo
zypper install cuack

for the search, you need cache, for the cache you need metadata. Should ZYpper 
exit and tell the user to refresh, or should it ask the user whether to 
refresh without exiting?

In the case of YaST, should it download and refresh when adding the repos in 
inst_source, or should it do it during startup of the package selector?
