           Summary: While upgrade: add-on dialog doesn't accept IP instead
                    of servername
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Beta 1

I just tried to upgrade my system to 10.3b1.

I activated the checkbox to include add-on media, choose type "HTTP" and
entered servername "12.12.80.1" and directory "/extra/".

The result was an error message (german) telling me about an invalid
servername:
    Ein gültiger Domain-Name besteht aus Komponenten, die durch Punkte
getrennt 
    werden. Jede Komponente enthält Buchstaben, Ziffern und Bindestriche.
[...]
english (translated back):
    A valid domain name consists of components, separated by dots. Each 
    component contains letters, numbers and hyphens.

I guess there's a regex for checking this - which unfortunately doesn't accept
IP addresses.

I don't attach the y2logs for now because the bug should be obvious. If you
really need them, just ask - or try yourself, this bug is probably reproducable
in the running system as well.


Workaround:
cat /etc/hosts > /tmp/hosts
echo "10.12.80.1   server" >> /tmp/hosts
ln -sf /tmp/hosts /etc/hosts
