That said, I agree that the repository management needs some facelifting. Unfortunately I don't know if there are changes in 11.0 besides integration of community repositories, therefore I have to comment based on 10.3 and what I have read in this bugreport. Changed I would like to recommend: - make community repositories / repository list more visible (but not as extreme as in the mockup) - remove FTP, HTTP, HTTPS and SMB/CIFS from the list - they basically provide the same as "URL", but in a more difficult way (you have to split into protocol, servername and path). Maybe NFS could also be merged into the "URL" part - it isn't very different. - changes for the "add URL" dialog: - add the "Authentification" box for username and password (defaulting to anonymous access) - add an "expert" button for people who really want to enter all details in separate fields. Clicking it would lead to what is now the "add HTTP" dialog. - merge CD and DVD - there's no real difference from the technical POV (I would even drop the dvd:// url scheme) - merge "local directory" and "local ISO image" This would leave the following options the "add repository" dialog: - community repositories / repository list - URL (HTTP, FTP, SMB/CIFS, maybe NFS) - should be renamed to "remote / network repository" or something like that - NFS (if not merged into URL) - SLP - CD / DVD - local directory or iso image -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
