Hi,
I think there is bug in this section or it is just incomplete
since the recoding of more than a year ago.
Here is what I note:
-
Suggested Packages, Recommended Packages, Orphaned Packages,
and Needed Packages sections/groups work as they should. -
The rest (of the groups) do NOT COLLAPSE the uninstalled packages
if more than one version exists, as happens in every other section of
the Yast2 (qt) Software Management program/tool. This means if there
are ten version updates of a particular package, you will see all of
them (multiply that by the many tens or hundreds of non-installed
packages and it becomes hard to make a simple selection) and with
the same version id. So this to me looks like a bug and I have seen
it on five 13.2 installs and one on Leap 42.1 but would like to see a
confirmation by others. Briefly searched Bugzilla but did no see
any bug reports on this issue nor could Google search bring up
anything relevant. -
‘All Packages’ and ‘Programming’ sections/groups have a definite
and noticeable time lag of between 10 to 20 seconds when moving to and
away from them. ‘Y2base’ is the command showing up in ‘Top’ as cpu
grabber (100%).
It is not a big deal for me and I can work around this issue but
Yast (qt) just seems not to be 100% with this oddity around.
Cheers,
Peter
