https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=288640 Summary: do not download repo data during installation Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- After installation user is asked about adding additional repositories. Good move. Bad design although is actually downloading all the data from repos -- please do not do this. Add repos, not data from repos. Reasons: a) user cannot download anything from them at the installation level b) download them (repo data) when user will run soft.management from installed system ad.b) when (b) will occur it could happen that data from installation are outdated and there is need for downloading them again, what the first downloading was for? Make the installation process as fast as possible, save all additional downloading/computing/etc, for after-installation process (from installed system). -- 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.
