Description macias - 2006-12-28 08:15:33 UTC
Well, run it, and try to stop -- impossible. The close widget is not responding, there is not abort button, I have to wait until CCC is finished.
Comment 1 Matej Horvath 2007-01-03 10:54:11 UTC
I'm able to reproduce it, reassigning to the maintainer.
Comment 2 J. Daniel Schmidt 2007-01-10 17:14:46 UTC
There is no abort button by intention. While displaying this message sources are added and synced between yast and zmd. To keep anything consistent we want to make sure the sync completes properly.
If one aborts that operation - what should be done with the sources - leave inconsistent, remove them, bother the user with questions, do other magic?
You can abort the registration process at any time you want - even while it is communicating with the server. IMHO it should be ok to wait a few seconds in this single case.
After registration you can modify the sources as you like.
Comment 3 macias - 2007-01-10 18:47:50 UTC
Jens, are you sure nothing is downloaded over the internet?  Because I think it is much more that syncing.

I am reopening this report because for me it sounds really weird -- I do not have zmd at all (!) so what is synchronized then?

I think if this process consists of:
* loading data -- should be stoppable
* syncing (only if necessary) -- should be NOT stoppable (I agree with you)

I have 2GHz CPU and believe me it is not few seconds.
Comment 4 J. Daniel Schmidt 2007-02-19 13:56:11 UTC
moving to 10.3 - registration will be changed anyway, taking this into account

When the sources are added the meta data is downloaded, yes.

mvidner, duncanmv: can this be made stoppable?
Comment 6 Andreas Jaeger 2007-07-03 20:09:53 UTC
Jens, for what information are you asking?
Comment 7 J. Daniel Schmidt 2007-07-06 15:23:51 UTC
Sorry, I was asking dmacvicar and mvidner (forgot to adjust the needinfo address - sorry).
The progress bars that are displayed when sources are added do not originate from the registration. This is part of the source manager.
Comment 8 Martin Vidner 2007-07-16 14:50:32 UTC
As I understand it, the metadata are being downloaded and you want to abort that (resulting in the repo not being added).
So one step is to make the callbacks abortable and another is to handle the abort appropriately (when restoring repos: just cancel refresh, when adding repos: undo the addition).
Comment 9 Lukas Ocilka 2007-09-10 15:09:59 UTC
This is definitely "LATER"
closing
Comment 10 macias - 2008-08-27 15:00:04 UTC
In few days it will be closed as wontfix which is very awkward because this bug is simply valid. What is the status on this after one year?
Comment 11 Ladislav Slezák 2008-09-01 13:49:19 UTC
Reopening LATER bugs (LATER will be changed to WONTFIX on September 2).
Comment 12 Jiri Srain 2008-12-16 13:36:27 UTC
Maciej, there are much more important bugs than this one. We will handle it, when time allows.
Comment 13 Ladislav Slezák 2010-04-01 14:07:18 UTC
Sorry, I have no time for this enhancement, closing as WONTFIX.
