Thanks.
Just two remarks: - Repositories need to be deletable - where to position the delete button? - Currently PackageKit does not support "services" but we will need to implement that. So then the list gets more complex as a "service" has many catalogs that can be enabled or disabled (but not deleted). Please take this into account when designing it. If you have questions I can explaint it to you.
For services we could use the same layout as in the traditional yast, there is a small combo box in the upper right corner for switching between service and repository view.
Btw. my personal impression of the layout: I find it hard to get a real overview of the repos if I only can see one of them in detail. The list should not get so long that we need to only display the alias name - well if it does, we have a different problem. What about displaying at least the url (in a second line, small) and a checkmark right before the alias name signaling if the repo is enabled. ... just my $ 0.02
I agree, the most important value for users is URL and state (enabled/disabled). Another problem might be with priority - high priority repository shadows lower priority repositories. Maybe the priority should be displayed when it's different to the default (99). -- 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/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: yast-devel+help@opensuse.org
