Well, you could disable update/refresh for the "stable" distribution repositories (I assume you have configured repositories for the SuSE distribution, both oss and non-oss). These never change and can very well be cached. But neither packman, nor suse update repositories, can be cached. They are likely to be updated with new packages almost every day, and yast simply has to fetch new lists each time. /Lennart onsdag 24 januari 2007 11:31 skrev Mihamina Rakotomandimby (R12y):
Hi, Just after DVD installation, I switched to internet repositories. Then I added Packman repositories.
Say I want to install aMule (from packman). One problem is the time spent before installation is complete. When launching the software installation tool, it builds a kind of installable software list. Ok. But it seems (as I see the time spent) to build it EACH time I launch it! Wouldn't it be faster to cache the list somewhere? Then when search for the package to install, it is very slow again. I have a decent CPU (2GHz, Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM) architecture, I think something really need to be donne on this thing. Don't you think?
Or is it a my-side problem?
