So I'm spending about a man-day of my quality time klicking on these pirut package checkboxes (while all I need is the install-everything button, or at least meaningful selectable package clusters which aren't mutex on dependencies -- there are not very much such clusters, btw). Turnaround time of an update is some 10-15 minutes. I try to do one letter of the alphabet at a time. I'm not succeeding, though, see below. Startup time is an eternity. The damn thing should cache, and only refresh from the depositories, if explicitly asked to by user. I'm not sure it's deleting already downloaded packages by default as some others have reported -- if it does that, it shouldn't. Clicking on checkboxes takes forever to register. Athlon 64 2 GHz with nVidia accelerated drivers might be not a speed demon, but this is just unacceptable. Unchecking boxes when there's a conflict doesn't result in a rollback. This is a *major bug*. It requires me to memorize the conflicts, and quit and restart the package from scratch. This is by far the biggest baddest bug in pirut, so it needs fixing first. The conflicts are frequently inconsistent on restarts. Whether this is due to package mirror inconsistencies, it should not be my problem. When you're done, pirut just quits. So I have to wait another 10 min for a new startup. Wrong behaviour, please fix. If this wasn't for above behaviour (which totally drives me up the wall), it would be a totally sweet tool. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
