Waiting/stopping in the middle of the update process is bad design.
No arguing there... but like you just did: it has to stay on topic, without insults.
On the other hand if an rpm can't be downloaded, I'm not sure if zypper should just 'skip' this one, finish the rest of it's task and install what it downloaded. This could render your system very very unusable (think of libzypp changing so version, thus a new zypper links against it. zypper is downloaded, libzypp fails. zypper being installed and libzypp skipped. you'll not be able to start zypper anymore.).
Whether it skips or aborts, there are still packages that have already been installed or removed and that is enough to cause system problems so you may as well complete the download and save time. See https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=379480 and https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=431854 although the first bug is not really relevant and the second one is for yast they are both examples of why download first and install on completion is the way to go and the developers are already working on it for 11.2 I believe.
Yes, we are looking into this for 11.2. Stano -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
