But this specific case is a CD. I think in case of CD/DVDs zypper should call refresh instantly after calling sa (well, addrepo :O). We can't allow user to shuffle CDs in the drives between several addrepos anyway. -- 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.

Yes, but this will change shortly - repos will be refreshed only after clicking Finish or what button do we have there in the inst_source. But how to handle CDs then? Adding Lada to CC, so that he is aware of this. This particular matter should be discussed in this thread on zypp-devel: http://lists.opensuse.org/zypp-devel/2007-06/msg00071.html. Maybe discussion about zypper's refresh policy could take place there, too. -- 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.

So "zypper sa" should - request the media (ask for cd, try network connection, etc.) - download the metadata - parse the metadata and report any problems to the user. The yast 'repository management' module must show the same behaviour. If the user is experienced enough to e.g. run "zypper sa" without network, a "--norefresh" (or some similar word) option should be available to delay the download/parsing to a later point in time. -- 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.

Basically it means that we should do downloading and parsing _after_ [Finish] is pressed. But it's complicated by the fact that we need to display messages and license (if present), so it might not be really batch in every case (license from CD should be displayed immediately, licenses from network sources can be downloaded/accepted later in a batch). -- 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.

So that means the it won't be "true batch" adding, but rather "grouped adding". -- 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.

For new issues, open new reports please, so that it is clear what needs to be fixed. Regarding the problem of adding CDs, i've changed zypper to automatically refresh them after adding and set the repo to autorefresh=false. will be submitted in zypper>0.8.11 -- 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.
