[opensuse-factory] Bug or feature?
When adding a new installation source in YaST, I see only the following points: CD DVD Lokales Verzeichnis Package Directory URL angeben However, if there is internet connection I can also choose: SLP, FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMB/CIFS, NFS. Bug or feature? It's also very annoying, that YaST removes all internet sources, if you start the module without internet connection. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I'd almost rate that as "most annoying". Definitely a bug, as I sometimes want to install from ftp://localhost/ because YOU can't handle deltas from file://, and going through an ftp (or http) server just for this is needed.

IMO think this is pretty much expert scenario and you should be able to use command line tools for this. For a normal user, if there is no network connection, it does not make sense to attach to a network-based repository and it will fail in a way that's pretty hard to understand.

Does this mean: it's a feature? So how about my next bug: If you start the installation source module without internet connection, YaST checks for each source, if it's available and prompts for OK, Cancel, Skip. If you choose "Skip", YaST asks, if it should remove the installation source immediately. If you choose here "No" (for not removing) the installation source does not show up anymore. YaST does not remove the source indeed, but as it does not show up, most users may think, that it did so. If you have several sources set up, this might be _very_ annoying. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I think this is the same as https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=222222 . Andras -- Quanta Plus developer - http://quanta.kdewebdev.org K Desktop Environment - http://www.kde.org

Yes. But still not fixed. And this is at least critical. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I confirm this..

Only once, if one does not know that YaST2 does not remove them.... M9.
