Feature changed by: Ján Kupec (jkupec) Feature #307862, revision 8 Title: zypper parallel dowloading of packages openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Aris Karagiannidis (arkara) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Now, i think that this is already done with apt. What should happen is that zypper should download packages concurrently and when it does download them all, then it should install them Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Faster package management Discussion: #1: Lee Matheson (oldcpu) (2009-12-05 13:30:06) IMHO the default setting for zypper should be (1) download and ONLY after download of all selected apps/dependencies is complete then (2) install. #2: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2010-05-28 12:28:20) See https://features.opensuse.org/120340 + #3: Ján Kupec (jkupec) (2010-05-28 12:39:53) (reply to #2) + This feature and comment #1 does not contradict #120340 (parallel + download and install). First, even if we download and install in + parallel, we still can download multiple files at once. Second, + download-all-install-all can still be the default, while alternating + download-few-while-installing-one, can be enabled on request or in zypp + (er).config (like it is now with download-one-install-one). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307862
