https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=346718 Summary: Add Community Repositories Missing from YaST Control Center Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: unspecified Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: guitarist198@yahoo.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Beta-Customer The helpful YaST module to add community repositories from OpenSuSE 10.3 is missing from the Software section. I installed from the KDE CD. Skipped Network Configuration Did not setup online repositories Did not change package selection during installation I find this a very useful feature so users don't have to go about searching for the information on how to add repositories as well as the info for each repo. -- 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.

So if there really needs to be another page, tabs would probably make more sense. [System Repositories], [Add Common repositories] (not sure about the wording).
Tabs aren't be a good idea in this case because a) "add" is an action, and actions should be done with buttons IMHO b) On the long run, I'd like to see everything related to software installation (inst_source, community repositories, sw_single) in a single YaST module which would then really use tabs ("Repositories", "Patterns" "Packages", "Updates"). See my mail in the opensuse-softwaremgmt mailinglist for details http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-softwaremgmt/2007-12/msg00004.html -- 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.

I agree that add is an action, which should be done with buttons. If add were the only additional function then it would make sense to have as a button on the main page. However, the current repository management has more than just add, you can remove, edit, refresh etc. Hence another page might make sense.
b) On the long run, I'd like to see everything related to software installation (inst_source, community repositories, sw_single) in a single YaST module which would then really use tabs ("Repositories", "Patterns" "Packages", "Updates"). See my mail in the opensuse-softwaremgmt mailinglist for details http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-softwaremgmt/2007-12/msg00004.html
I think this would make sense too, I'm not sure if it's possible for the package selector and repository management to both use zypp at the same time at the moment though. -- 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.
