I'd like to add to this that I just tried to add factory to rug:
rug sa --type=yum http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ suse factory
The progress bar stopped at 33% - but my harddisk, cpu and ram (512 megs) consumption ran amok - using at a time all my 500 megs of swap - I powered off after 20 minutes as I couldn't get it to stop - not even ctrl+alt+backspace would do it.
Am I the only one to experience something like this?
Did you ever ping the daemon? No, well you shouldn't. Even that takes minutes before it print some result. Adding a service will hang @ 33% for a looooonnnng time and then finally completes. But it is not usefull in this way. So that is a blocker but I guess it will be in the list allready :D.
Generally it seems to me that the packagemanager - whether using rug or yast is considerably slower and more ressource demanding than before - and it's not like it was blazingly fast then.
Seesm to mme that Yast is still not doing the thing and even y2pmsh stops ATM while refreshing sources :/. When you have 5 sources you can update by havind them update automatically and killing the process 5 times to start it over and over again till all the sources are updated.... Lot of work to go but I see that the last 3 days some things are going a lot faster then before... Azerion
