Should registration be mandatory i think not you are heading down the MS road there you have to remember not everyone has or even wants to be connected to the net so updates become a little pointless
Registration is not mandatory to have an update repository defined. The addition of the update repository is simply a part of the registration process at the moment. Probably from before we had the redirector and the registration process was used to choose a mirror close to you. Obviously there are people who are not connected to the internet. Having the update repository defined out of the box will result in a failure when package management is started - but they can simply disable the repository then. Surely this is better than the alternative where a significant group of people who are connected to the internet remain vulnerable. -- Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
