https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=208461 Summary: YaST: other (better) ways to add installation sources Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Alpha 4 plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: azerion@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com At this moment YaST opens a new window for showing the progress of adding a source. This is weird behavior because all of the other steps of adding the source (selecting type, typing adress) are done in the same window. Solution: Show the progress in the same window instead of opening a new one. I think there is no need for a seperated new window cause you cannot use underlying YaST inst_sources anyway. Even BETTER solution: Make it that way so you can add new other sources (typing info etc) while the YaST is adding one to the servicelist. This would be usefull when you want to add some large repo's and you really don't want to wait every time until a repo is added. I think the BEST solution: Download information not when 'adding' but when finishing. So after clicking Finish it shows the progressbar. ========================= Now: - add SUSE-repo - wait ten minutes watching progress-screen - add KDE-repo - wait ten minutes watching progress-screen - add GURU-repo Better: - add SUSE-repo (1st progress screen appears) - add KDE-repo (2nd progress screen appears) - add GURU-repo (3th progress screen appears) - drink some coffee, watch some TV and return 30 minutes later :D. All repo's added Best: - add SUSE-repo - add KDE-repo - add GURU-repo - Click Finish - drink some coffee, watch some TV and return 30 minutes later :D. All repo's added ======================== If we change to one of the better solutions please do not forget that I am away from computer so an error/warning should not delay the other tasks. If in the last solution SUSE-repo adding fails I really would like to return and see that the other repo's are added and a message that SUSE-failed instead of only a message that SUSE-repo failed and I have to click okey so it will continue the other repo's and I can return to get another cup of coffee :P -- 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.
