I'm adraid this doesn't work for installation with limited resources (memory, disk space), by default all sources during installation se keep_packages=false (please, remember the bug we had recently in installation).
I think it even doesn't make sense in installation - the feature is useful in an installed system which you need to keep in a consistent system. If installation fails the system will be broken anyway.
And moreover downloading and installing in threads is faster than first downloading and then installing. And this is what our users want too.
That's something different. In the first case (download first then install) package update is safer, if there is a problem with downloading you don't break the system with partially updated packages. Parallel download and installation "just" speeds up the installation, but update is not as safe as in the first scenario. IMO both scenarios are valid and should be possible in the future. -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: zypp-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: zypp-devel+help@opensuse.org
