https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=398701 Summary: new work mode for zypper Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Alpha 0 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: libzypp AssignedTo: zypp-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: gabriel@opensuse.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Please, consider the following for zypper. Add an option to let the user choose the work mode: 1-Transactional (current and default). Each package is installed after download. 2-(not sure the name). First download all packages, then install them. In previous OS versions, I encountered the problem that in the middle of the process for any reason the download failed, and the installed packages (not replaced because of this) couldn't work with the already NEW packages. So I ended up with a broken system. If disk space is not enought, just abort and keep the downloaded files, so there is no need to download them again. Also could be good to keep all the files downloaded even after a sucessful install, so it is possible to cp the .rpm and use it to install on another system. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
