I think the distinguishion between dist end repositories as it is in the moment is quiet important.AFAIR, in repositories, you find the mirror of repos.opensuse.org, including the community packages. Counting them at this moment inside the dist is quiet dangerous. Not all of these packages (for not to say none) go through a rough QC. distribution on the other hand is the 'official' cd/dvd/ftp installation tree. but shorter names would be great. Less to type is always good!

one could leave repositories (i vote for "repos") as it is on the same directory level as "10.1" and leave out the level "distribution" -- Andreas Vetter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

you need to keep in mind that only a few users type these names at all. Sure, on this list the number of people who type is higher ;) But the main goal is to lead the people to the right directory (and they are using a mouse for doing that). -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I think this depends on whether you talk about iso images or repositories. Your statement is most likely correct for the images but the repositories are often used for network installations and there it is extremely ugly to type long pathes, especially if they also contain uppercase letters.

Might be so, but the shorter it 'can' be the better. This goes also for the mirrors. If it was up to me, the structure would be the same, at all the mirrors.
