[Bug 273013] New: yast2-users attempts attempts to parse the package database everytime although I have not selected to install more stuff.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=273013 Summary: yast2-users attempts attempts to parse the package database everytime although I have not selected to install more stuff. Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 3plus Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: jsuchome@novell.com ReportedBy: judas_iscariote@shorewall.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com this is more or less the same usabilty issue of bug #266883 but in the yast2-users module.. when open it --> click "expert options" --> Authentication and user sources , the package database is attempted to be parsed right away..this is imho not the expected behaviuor.. what about parsing it when the user actually **wants** to configure i.e the samba authentication source and the needed packages are not installed ? ( user can be configuring NIS, LDAP or kerberos authentication sources but that does not neccesary mean they will need to install more software -- 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.

The problem is that if the package (e.g. yast2-samba-client) is not available at the source (= not possible to install it), its summary should not be shown in the dialog at all. That's why yast2-users always checks if the authentication modules are available. The only case it doesn't check package database is when all packages (yast2-ldap/nis/samba/kerberos-client) are already installed. So I think this is WONTFIX, unless we find better solution. -- 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.

I see.
The problem is that if the package (e.g. yast2-samba-client) is not available at the source (= not possible to install it), its summary should not be shown in the dialog at all.
and what happends if the summary is shown anyway but it fails **just** when the user want to use it..(if the user will not need it, is pointless to have unneeded packages installed no ? ) saying "package foobar is not in the installation media" or something ?
That's why yast2-users always checks if the authentication modules are available.
I see the rationale, the main problem is that the package stuff is very slow and this tiny changes can produce a better "feeling" about the speed of yast to users.
So I think this is WONTFIX, unless we find better solution.
if you see the bug description, I filled this as an ENHACEMENT not as a bug ;-) -- 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.
