Bug 200467

Smart seems to be popular as a packagemanager and that is a shame. Why? Cause we have YaST so why should they use Smart? Answer: it seems to be fast. So I asked a little and if I am correct it is fast because it does not auto-update the repo's. YaST is doing so and that is irritating they say.

1.) It is great that there is a "do you want to install more packages?" but sometimes you'rebusy with the system and you need to use yast sw_single 5 times within 5 hours. Everytime it is gonna update al sources but the chance that they updated is little.

Could it be a dialogbox before is starts if you want to update al sources? And of course an "Remember my choice". If so, there should be some place wehere you can change you're choice and point 2:

2.) Sometimes I choose some packages, updated the whole stuff and try to find a program. Ik takes be about 10 minutes. After that I click okey but the progress failes cause Guru or Packman have been updated in the meantime! Seriously, that one got me knocked out one time.
Seeing point 1 there should be a button/menu-option to update all (and without discarding all made changes). This fixes this problem if you have been away while in yast sw_single.

3.) Could there be an easy option to save the 'installed list' so you can recall it when you install the next opensuse-version. If you have a rather unusual list you have to do a lot by hand....
