Hmm, actually we use this workflow:
1.) Read all information (Read dialog) 2.) Tune the configuration 3.) Write/Save/Restart the configuration (Write dialog)
the workflow is fine IMHO, however there is a somewhat general issue with yast modules that permits to configure more than 1 kind of service (in this case, a ftp deamon + firewall ports) that has not raised previulsy because the existance of a minimal pattern raises new questions/ideas/problems :) you will find similar cases in #273013 and #266883 where: 1. modules attempts to parse the package database or even refresh the installation sources even though the user does not want to install new stuff (like #266883) 2. modules wants packages installed, like # #273013 or this same report, yast makes the assumption that the user really wants it even if they have not even attempted to configure such options(if not configured is barely needed right ?) In general my proposal is: 1. keep the same general workflow ( if aint broke , dont break it ;) ) 2. but dont make "bad" assumptions (like refreshing/accessing the installation sources .fe #266883) in general as the package related stuff is uber slow and quite memory hungry, my suggestion is to minimize the possible access to it, as well doing it "just in time". Sorry to go off-bug but this is more or less a general problem. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
