I wonder if there is a way to set up an automatic YOU-style update of the packages to work with AutoYast. The idea is to keep the packages on the install server as current as possible, thus shortening the cycle of (1) install system with certain combination (2) patching it via auto YOU from the central mirror to get it up to date I would much rather update the non-critical stuff like desktop install sources directly (I'd be more careful with server builds ;-). Having run Auto YOU for over a year on a couple of test systems I have found the patch release process and quality good enough to trust. = P =
