Hello: This might be a little bit offtopic. I do not want to offend anybody at openSUSE and don't want to be rude but I think openSUSE could not make a decent package manager since 9.3 or 10.0. Even in 10.3.
These are the reasons why I don't use YAST package manager: - YAST package manager is extremely slow. - Furthermore why does it have to refresh all repositories if you want only remove or check something? - You still can't change the order how repositories are processed (discussed elsewhere). - I am lost in the several options: online update, automatic online update, software repositories, community repositories, add on product etc. Who can follow this? And all of them after starting always refreshes and refreshes... - In the software manager takes forever to switch from one package group to the other. - In 10.2 the software manager always downloaded all the different package descriptor language files (xmls?) further slowing down refreshing. (I did not checked if it had changed in 10.3) For this reason I use smart package manager. It's search function not as good as yast's but: - much easier to switch on and off repositories - one can choose by hand which repositories and when to refresh I started using smart exlusively in 10.2. I was hoping that in 10.3 I can switch back to YAST but unfortunately it is not polished enough. What I don't undertsand that the last 1.5-2 years (since the release of 10.1) was not enough to fix substantial problems and replace a good package manager (former yast) to another that also works flawlessly. Irrespectively of this openSUSE (all versions) is generally a very stable, reliable and easy to use linux system.
