Hi,
In 15.1 we wanted to switch to using NetworkManager by default for all
desktop installations, replacing the not so obvious magic that only uses
NetworkManager when installing on a Laptop. Only the Server and
Transactional Server installations should keep wicked.
Furthermore, since SLE uses roles for such things, Richard
volunteered to rework Leap's control.xml using roles in Leap too.
The hope was to get rid of the desktop_roles code too.
So far so good:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/759914#step/system_role/1
However, now we lost the ability to install with online repos
enabled. In 15.0 there was a button for that in the desktop selection:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/678918#step/installer_desktopselection/1
In SLE that is covered when registering. There's a popup that asks
whether to enable online repos:
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/2084621#step/scc_registration/6
Since Leap doesn't use registration that popup doesn't exist there.
So now I wonder what alternatives we have. I'd rather like to avoid
introducing this ugly screen again:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/302627#step/installation_mode/1
So any ideas how to get the feature back?
Would it be possible to add the "Configure Online Repositories"
button on the role selection dialog?
Or maybe have the popup of SLE when the system can reach
download.o.o, just without prior registration?
What's easier code wise?
