[Bug 403673] New: Yast Package Manager(Software Management)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=403673 Summary: Yast Package Manager(Software Management) Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: peebhat@gmail.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- 1.If during package download,internet connection breaks,then returns,PM is hung up.It cannot reconnect and continue by itself.After long time,it comes up with an error message.(This contnues from 10.1 - or since I started using) 2.If PM cannot download a package for network related reasons,it doesn't continue till user intervenes.This makes it incapable of unattended update/installation.Compare this with Synaptic behaviuor where if network connection is ON,it continues to download and install other packages and displays error on un-downloaded and dependent packages only in the end.(This contnues from 10.1 - or since I started using) 3.I read somewhere that from OS 11.0 onwards,PM can automatically detect and connect to mirrors to download.But,there is no evidence of that in my observation.I have a broadband connection of 2 Mbps and higher.But,in my use of OS 11.0 RC1 and Final,PM nowhere is able to make good use of my bandwideth.It's speed often is a few Bytes/sec and finally it throws up in error.I have tested my connection exact at the time of this occurrence to come to this conclusion. 4.There is still no good amount of proper integration and segregation among 'security update','upgrade','dist-upgrade'.What amount of this is visible in zypper is not visible/apparent in Yast PM. 5.Though Repository management is included in 'software management' in yast,there are too many overlapping choices in yast-software group.Compare this with Synaptic or fedora package management. At this time,OS package management is riddled with irritants though it's backend is claimed much superior to it's above mentioned competitors. -- 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.
