Hi all! Many users complain why there are two separate modules for managing repositories and packages. They want to add/refresh/enable/disable/... repositories from the package manager widget. Currently you have to close the package manager module, start the repository manager, do the action you want and start the package manager again. It takes a long time and you have click too many times. Adding the repository management functions to all package manager widgets requires a lot of work in each UI frontend. I created a small patch which can start the repository manager module directly from the package manager, almost all the changes are on the YCP level. Pros: + simple implementation, the patch has just few lines Cons: - the repository manager is not visually integrated to the package manager See the attached patch, install patched "packager" and "qt-pkg" yast modules. The patch adds a new menu entry in the package manager widget, click "Extra" -> "Repository manager..." or press Ctrl + M shortcut. (This feature can be made more visible if needed, e.g. add a button into the "Repository" filter or something like that...) What do you think about this solution? Is it a good thing for 11.0? -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/
