The yast software management module still takes a rather long time to start up. I often do this and then find myself missing a repository, or an enable switch on one of them. So far this has always meant having to exit the software module again because they lock each other out. How much chance is there to be able to call the repository module from within the software module?

How can one get around the zypp global lock problem? Package selector will obtain a lock on zypp and repository management can't be performed until after it is closed. So displaying them in the same module isn't as trivial as it would appear. AFAIK there's not even a way to release the lock, I ran into this problem when completely random things like requesting the language obtains a zypp lock. -- Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I suggest to move this discussion to yast-devel or zypp-devel ;-) Stano --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
