https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=284617 Summary: yast update is slow, picks slow sites, and doesn't let you choose fast mirrors Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: lyeoh@inter-touch.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com yast update is slow, picks slow sites, and doesn't let you select and choose fast mirrors to update from. If you run the update configuration option, it replaces the old mirror, doesn't tell you what the new mirror is - which could be randomly worse than the old one AND it takes AGEs to do it. Given the amount of time it takes, I would have thought that it would at least figure out a decent mirror. The packaging and update system in suse 10.2 is a LOT worse than 10.0 or even 9.1. It's not just me who thinks that. Things have got a lot slower for very little benefit if any. The yast source selection stuff is also VERY slow. Even dealing with Windows Update is a more "pleasant" experience than dealing with suse 10.2 update, and its update configuration. -- 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.
