I've been updating a lot of packages with yast. I have no new problems, but
I'm looking for some information about upcoming solutions to old, continuing
ones.

After launching any part of yast that has anything to do with package
management, I have to wait around five minutes before I can do something
(which is sometimes to change one small thing). I once saw it suggested that
yast be changed to use rdiff or something to only collect the changes in the
repository rather than downloading the entire list. Has anyone using 11.1
alpha or Factory noticed any change?

Also, I set over a hundred packages to update from one repository and while I
was doing it, they must have updated the packages, because now those hundred-
plus packages are no longer found on that server. Okay, it happens. But over
one hundred times, I had to press the space bar to get rid of one error box,
then hit alt+S to skip the package. Each time. Again, has anyone noticed any
better handling of situations like this in any newer version of yast?

I'm just curious. I'm still using 10.3 and don't know if it'd be worth it to
install 11.0 with 11.1 coming out, but then, I don't know if it's worth
waiting for 11.1.
