[sles-beta] SLES12 x86_64 Beta6 5min waiting time upon initializing software manager, YaST installer

Fri May 16 03:03:41 MDT 2014

Hi 
Just when browsing the yast2 logs from the installation and 5min waiting time I can see this entry

So somewhere YaST installer tries to download the release notes via https://www.suse.com
Of course this does not work behind firewalls
And as can be seen above there is twice a waiting time of 2min until I get error code 7

Hi,
it would be great if you can report it together with yast logs, so we
can check where it spend so much time. Maybe it is in SLP discovery or
some other features. We do not see such slow down, so we need
investigate your logs, why it take so much time.
