loading the various `packages.gz' files and its siblings for many repositories takes a very long time if your internet connection is slow.
What about improving that? For example, I could imagine that those files are stored in a kind of git repository, and that yast2 does the equivalent of `git pull', which is extremely fast.
Has there been any ideas into this direction?
