Can I open the PPM4 GUI without synchronizing the repositories?

Hi Gisle,

Thanks for the reply. I've implemented the changes, but it
is still verifying (and downloading every package) when I
tried to perform a ppm install DBD-ADO from the command
line. I'll only keep the change done in the GUI.pm for the
moment.
Unfortunately, for me the sync takes more than 90 minutes. I
didn't think we have a so bad LAN and Internet connectivity,
but maybe.
The outputs are below:

I guess you could comment out the calls to
$ppm->repo_sync in
do_search and do_install functions the binppm.bat file, and
we could
let these commands take --no-sync options for our next
release.

But I really want to understand better why you have trouble
with these
syncs.  They should not hit the network very often, and when
they do
it should be a cheap request to validate that the current
repo state
is still valid.

Can you provide me with the output of running these
commands:

  ppm repo list --csv
  ppm repo describe 1
  ppm repo describe 2

  ppm search foo
  ppm log

Regards,
Gisle
