Re: Repository 'openSUSE-10.3-Updates' is invalid

So how do you know how large the updates are? Also I can imagine
(although I have no idea how to do it) that you can do QOS so it leaves
enough bandwith to be able to see your_tube. Downside will be that it
will become slower.

Some are very obvious: kernel, OpenOffice.org, stuff like that.

Updates are diff files which means it does not download all of the
kernel or OpenOffice.org, but just what it needs.

they will be happy. Oalso if you have a bugreport stating just "It does
not work" or "OPENsuse sucks" it will be closed fastere then it to the
electrons to send over that message.

Rightfully so - it just makes it a bit trickier to post about something
that isn't a bug per se, but just a lousy 'feature' or response rate
like slow and redundant repository refresh rates.

Not true. The red in bash as root is a feature and was done via
Bugzilla.

I like the old 5 disk approach to SUSE. I expect they don't install the
fonts by default now because of the size/download time. When they're on
a local disk that's not an issue. But, of course, disks cost money as
does their ISP feed. Much cheaper to have folks downloading just what
they need rather than 5 ISOs full of programs that won't get installed.

You can always download the DVD. Sure there will be people who do not
have a DVD and do not have the 20EUR for a DVD ROM or the 30EUR for a
re-writer.

The other problem, audacity segfaulting was really easy to fix but not
to solve: (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354349)

As I mentioned, they closed it as a WONTFIX because the package was from
packman and appeared to be a problem with audacity. It wasn't.

Does it have the same problem when using the one provided by openSUSE?
If so, then it means that it is a generic problem. If not it still might
be an audacity problem or even a packman problem.

So all in all, the developers indirectly put me on the right track for
fixing timidity although didn't actually provide me with the fix, and
haven't yet committed a fix in bugzilla, and weren't able to give me any
guidance on the audacity fix. But at least they know about it now and
that may help someone else down the line.

As it is written ass WONTFIX, they won't be looking into it anymore.

Since bugzilla pages don't show up in google, etc. I expect if anyone is
helped the likelihood is they'll read it here than there. But maybe in
11.0 the developers won't make the same mistakes. We'll see...

As they said it to WONTFIX and as it was from a different source then
openSUSE I doubt that they will do anything with it.
