Listmates,

I was helping on another post and I simply needed to take a look at
what the names in "Community Repositories" were. Why in the heck does Yast
have to refresh all the GD repositories on my box just to display the list
of repositories available? Refresh after I have selected a repository, not
just to display a list of the ones available. It wasn't until after 10
minutes of refreshes, that I was to see the list of community repositories.

(Yes, I know I can just look at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ , but I wanted to make sure I had
the nomenclature right so that the information I provided matched what would
be seen in Yast, Community Repositories.

What is the consensus on whether this needs to be filed as a bug?


I fully agree. Unless or until I try to do an update or install new packages
I don't want my system wandering off updating repositories. Its just
maddening every time I go into yast to have that thing start the long
march of repository checking.


I also agree. Another thing would be to improve the update time. Is it actually checking every file? Can it check some time stamp or md5sum to see if the repository has been updated? As it is, if it checks and then you open software management again, it has to check all over again.
