https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=284617#c2 --- Comment #2 from Lincoln Yeoh 2007-06-17 20:45:05 MST --- While that's true: In previous versions of suse a _list_ of mirrors AND their corresponding URLs were given for people to select from. We didn't have to try to figure out what was the correct URL. Now all that has been removed and it's still SLOWER! What is the update software doing? The current options appear to be: a) Let 10.2 pick a site for you = so far 3/4 sites autopicked are slow + it takes a long time to even add the site. b) Try to find out what is a fast site AND figure out the correct URL (I believe the path can differ from site to site) that will work with the 10.2 update = tedious + annoying + takes time. The rest of suse 10.2 is OK/nice, but the software + package management stuff seems to have become less usable. -- 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 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.

You might have also wanted to tell, that 10.2 is much faster than 10.1. Anyway, the problem of slow mirrors is partly true.

Things have got a lot slower for very little benefit if any. The yast source selection stuff is also VERY slow.

That's, of course, a matter of taste :) --- --- --- Anyway, the 'low speed of mirror' can be sometimes cause by the huge amount of data you need to download - this should be fixed in a new libzypp in 10.3. I'd see a very good enhancement for 'registration' by requesting more online_sources and then by checking which one is the fastest. Reassigning to jdsn since he's the maintainer of registration online update sources. Changing summary to: Enhance registration to allow selecting the fastest mirror from list of online update sources -- 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 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.

You might have also wanted to tell, that 10.2 is much faster than 10.1. Sorry, "10.2 is faster than 10.1" doesn't make it faster than 10.0! Why can't we move back to the update mechanism used in 10.0? What was wrong in that?

...

Things have got a lot slower for very little benefit if any. The yast source selection stuff is also VERY slow.

That's, of course, a matter of taste :) Sorry, can't agree with that! Even with a fast network Yast started doing weird sluggish moves, which often fail, and also the "Abort" button is only a decoration nowadays - don't you think it reminds M$ more and more with time?

Anyway, the 'low speed of mirror' can be sometimes cause by the huge amount of data you need to download - this should be fixed in a new libzypp in 10.3. This isn't true either. The network is very often idling, so does CPU, and yast doing hell knows what...

Would be good to have it fixed for 10.3, though... -- 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.

Not replacing the universal download.opensuse.org entry point with another one - rather indicating that a particular mirror should be preferred (if it has the requested file). http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp/Failover encompasses this. -- 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.
