Yes, caching the files locally avoids doing a half-install. But we still need to download those 1 or 5 gigs complete before starting, and it is downloading them what is a problem because they are changed before we can finish the download. This is the way how Factory works: you never know when an update will happen. If the the guys in Nuremberg decide to push an update, this can be at night in Germany. There you can expect, everyone's sleeping.
But not all files changes, so you next time download only updated files ;) and this should help So, when will be "next time"? if you're in the middle of an update and the content changes, you receive a message like "... not found". Good chance to break this time and do a "zypper ref; zypper dup" or "yast update"? Yes and no. If packages with dependecies changed in this time frame you have a good chance to mess up. [further up next quote]
Are you sure? I admit that I haven't tried recently, but usually all files change, even if it is only to get a new version number (or release or whatever). Yes, not all changes are important, only why this "whatever".number after the dot changes. But: if _YOU_ decide to update/dist-upgrade your "whatever" kind of "your" installation from Factory, _YOU_ are the one, who's responsible for doing this. The way, the openSUSE guys are treating this, is their decision and all you can do is blaming. And where? at bugzilla.novell.com.
I can not try for the moment...
