[zypp-devel] libzypp in alpha 6 feedback

I've played a little with alpha 6 - dvd install of x86_64. Generally the new
libzypp fully lives up to the high expectations that have been built up - the
start up speed and the low ram usage is really a blessing. Almost too good to
be true.
Of course there are some issues, and I must admit I'm too lazy to add each one
to bugzilla while it's still so immature, so I'm just gonna run through 'em
quickly here on the list.
During installation I do custom partitioning, after that when I return to
the "installation Settings" there's suddenly a red text stating that there
are dependency issues with the package selection that require manual
attention. Among some of the things that reported conflicts were
openoffice-kde. I just quickly chose to ignore all the conflicts and moved
on, before looking at the matter closer.
After installation I added factory to the yast inst src module and then added
factory non-oss with zypper. Both worked, but adding with the yast module
seemed much slower, which is funny since it wasn't supposed to do anything
except add the url / create the repo-file - a y2base-proces seemed to be
using quite a lot of cpu while this went on.
The DVD wasn't available as installation source after installation, which is
of course usually the case. Dunno if this is intended. I didn't add any
online sources during installation.
In YaST inst-src module the repos seemed to default to being disabled and with
autorefresh off. If I turned enable + refresh on manually, they would be off
again next time inst-src module is started.
Adding repos, refreshing, installing and searching with zypper was extremely
pleasurable.
Testing integration between sw_single and libzypp seemed impossible as
sw_single would say on startup "No installation sources found, only
displaying installed packages". While at the same time zypper was working
well with the installation sources.
