We're currently pushing out an update to the package/patch management stack and I'm asking for additional testing.
Just reporting back my "test" results thus far. The executive summary is "Success!" PC Chips M810LMR* / Duron 900 / 512MB/150GB *SiS 730 chipset I installed the package/patch management stack update per the instructions and the major symptoms (excruciating delays / apparent hangs / excessive cpu consumption) disappeared. Sync, at initial login, does *not* "throttle" my system nor does it "hog" the cpu. It runs in the background for several minutes but is otherwise very unobtrusive and well tamed. There /are/ issues on the package management integration side, but AFAICS the bugs I've encountered have already been entered into bugzilla. The *patch* side worked perfectly last night, at least as reliably as SUSEWatcher ever did and even a bit more conveniently: * noticed the red exclamation point alert icon, which I clicked * reviewed the immediately presented list of available patches (no need for a follow-up click and wait to "Run YOU") * the two patches were already 'checked', so I clicked "Install" * the patches installed uneventfully * the progress bar and status message title bar were informative * when done, the tray icon regained it's normal appearance Very nice!
