https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=352594 Summary: software managment: improve repo refresh on start Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- When you are about to install/refresh 1000 packages it is wise decision to refresh all repos. However, it is not rare you won't to install just one package -- waiting for all repos to get refresh is a waste of time (because it is slow). So the wish is: improve the refresh (I am not saying speed it up). Some suggestion: * just before SM start show the list of repos, allow user to select some to ignore in this "SM session" * implement refresh-on demand, in this mode, no repo is refreshed on start, but when user will search/view some packages (there would be a problem with such solution if there is no method established to get just a list of the packages from specific repo) I like the first one better -- it could be nicely done also with one dialog progress (reported) instead of flying around windows with download progress. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
