I have 11.1 installed and is mostly happy with the new installer. But still feels Smart is better. With Smart the install process will start downloading from several sources, any way of getting zypper to do this? At the moment zypper downloads all files sequentially.
Anyone using Smart on 11.1, any good or bad experiences?
Not really. Just wanted to mention that the parallel download of smart was nice, but the *much* faster response of zypper of queries etc. more than balances that (IMHO). I switched from smart (used since SuSE 8.2) to zypper with 11.0

I was wondering. Is the fast response of zypper because of process changes made to getting updates etc, or because the update repository is still only a couple of Megs big? In other words, my 10.3 boxes takes forever just to check for updates (using Smart) because the filelist is already 18Meg big gzipped, is this handled differently with zypper? If so, how is it done now? (using patches or diffs?)

http://en.opensuse.org/Libzypp and other articles, are written by developers, so it should be, beside source code, proper place to look for explanation. Well, after some of insiders go over it and update status. It is many improvements from download to resolving dependencies. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
