Maybe zypper should ask already at this point: "Repository added succesfully. Do you wish to download metadata (xx MB) now ? y/n?" > zypper search moo > zypper install cuack > for the search, you need cache, for the cache you need metadata.

Could we have it ask "Download repository metadata now?" after adding repo in yast? Perhaps even with an estimated size of the download. If people select no, then it must do it on startup later. Personally I think it's more "natural" and intuitive that the metadata is downloaded when the repo is added. But of course most other package managers separate metadata download and repo adding completely. However to me the important thing is not so much when it's done, but mostly that the user gets clear information about what's happening when it's done. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
