Well, the new update part of YaST is interesting and is working for unlike for some of the other listies, but it just sits there downloading and shows no progress of any kind accept for the bandwidth usage I see flowing via gkrellm. It would be nice to see the output of the downloading of file such as with apt. All I see is this..
'Retrieving KDE_3.0.4-1: "KDE 3.0.4 update"'
Ah, you noticed that too... :-) (now running suse 8.1, but suspecting will return to gentoo) Did you also notice this: There's a checkbox for "Remove source packages after update". It's not checked by default, and I haven't checked it. Now, after I upgraded to kde3.0.4 I decided I wanted to install Mosfet's Liquid. As there's no SuSE package, I went to install the source. Naturally this led me to needing to install things like kdebase-devel, kdelibs-devel etc. (as well as gcc, make et al but let's not go there). So of course I went into yast2 to do this, and of course it installed the 3.0.3 versions *plus* it chose to reinstall the 3.0.3 versions of kdelibs, kdebase themselves. Hmm, I thought. Don't like having a system that's a mixture of two versions. I'll run YOU again... So I run YOU again, and it starts downloading the kde3.0.4 patch again. Why? Why is it not using the version it saved from before? It could even md5 it if it wanted to to make sure it's the right one. Argh! -- Rachel
