My proposal for the Yast workflow is here:
When adding a new repository in inst_sources:
- Add a new option to the Media Type dialog (the first dialog displayed after
pressing [Add]) - a check box with label "Download and parse metadata now",
turned on by default.
After entering URL and pressing [Next]:
- Scan available products in the URL (there is usually just one product,
but there might be more products)
- For each found product:
- probe repository type
- download and display the message (if present)
- download and display the license (if present),
if it's not accepted remove the product
- Display the new repositories in the table
(Note that some files will be downloaded even if the metadata download is turned
off.)
After pressing [Finish]:
- save repositories to /etc/zypp/repos.d, if the repository has just been
created then download and parse metadata (if it hasn't been turned off)
(download should be postponed to the end, see bug #208461)
When starting the package manager:
- refresh and parse all missing metadata (and also refresh the repositories
which have autorefresh flag set)
- start the package manager
Any suggestions or improvements?
Have a nice day!
