Listmates,
I was helping on another post and I simply needed to take a look at what the names in "Community Repositories" were. Why in the heck does Yast have to refresh all the GD repositories on my box just to display the list of repositories available? Refresh after I have selected a repository, not just to display a list of the ones available. It wasn't until after 10 minutes of refreshes, that I was to see the list of community repositories.
(Yes, I know I can just look at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ , but I wanted to make sure I had the nomenclature right so that the information I provided matched what would be seen in Yast, Community Repositories.
What is the consensus on whether this needs to be filed as a bug?
I fully agree. Unless or until I try to do an update or install new packages I don't want my system wandering off updating repositories. Its just maddening every time I go into yast to have that thing start the long march of repository checking.
If you try out the new Yast from the OBS (requires adding Yast, Zypp, LiMaL, and Blocxx), it includes a skip refresh button, so my guess is they have worked on that problem already. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
