[Bug 352594] New: software managment: improve repo refresh on start
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.

The not covered issue is "implement refresh on demand" and this report is linked to "integration with software module". a) how it is a duplicate b) since the other report is marked as fixed I believe the "refresh on demand" (on search for example) is already implemented, right? -- 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.

Disable autorefresh for all repositories (well, for all which want to use the refresh on demand feature). 2. Start the package manager - it will start without autorefresh 3. Use 'Configuration' -> 'Repositories...' menu item (or press Ctrl+R) 4. Select the repository you want to refresh, use 'Refresh' -> 'Refresh Now' 5. Press OK -> you are back in the package selection with the refreshed repository. -- 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.

And such workflow doest still not fit. Let's say I want to check if there is upgrade for kdevelop. The best move would be to start yast, search for kdevelop, refresh (this would cause getting data from repos only related to kdevelop, and nothing more) and then see if there is anything new. -- 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.
