Optimize the console
Published: June 26, 2015 - 11:23
WAPT works very well and allows you to do a lot; I'm very satisfied with it.
I have a suggestion regarding the administration console. It's very well designed and, above all, very intuitive at first glance. However, as soon as you request something that uses a significant amount of resources, it crashes and becomes unavailable until it has finished its task.
For example, I created a group with a piece of software in it, and I assigned this group as a dependency to 620 machines. It took a long time, and the console was unusable during that time. Similarly, at times when the machines in the network are shut down and need to install packages, the console is unresponsive.
I think optimization in this area must surely be possible, and perhaps the same console could be developed as a web application for machine management; I think that would be more practical.
In any case, I'm eager to see the next versions.
