Re: [opensuse] Stupid Updater and Stupid Installer - IMHO

I've just upgraded from 9.3 to 10.2 and I've noticed that software
installation in YaST is *much* slower than it used to be. (I've removed
zmd).

I think this is largely because it is downloading the package lists
every time I use it, whereas before I think they only changed when I did
an update or refreshed the source. Is there some way to tell it *not* to
download the lists every time, and just do it when I tell it to (or
overnight or something)?

Yes, there is. Previously, you could see the button to aktivate/deactivate
a source at once. Now it is hidden a bit in the don-t-know-the-name button
in the corner down right, where you can deactivate AND/OR not-refresh a
source.

The always-refresh behaviour is pretty annoying when you only want to
install a little package. I guess, the reason for that is, that these
sources also work as update sources.
