[opensuse] download.opensuse.org html listing format - get rid of horizontal lines...
All, Since someone changed the basic listing format from download.opensuse.org/repositories to some unwanted html format, the biggest problem is the damn horizontal lines drawn between every directory and they are drawn in a bright-white over a dark background -- it's like looking into a floodlight trying to pick out details behind it. Take a look at: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/ Where I see: https://paste.opensuse.org/61684564 It is enough to drive you blind. Can we at least remove the horizontal lines? I could live with cyan folder names on a dark background if there wasn't a bright white line in between every folder. Personally, I'd prefer the raw folder listing that reduces the bandwidth by 500%, but I understand it's hard to gore somebody's new ox. -- David C.

The package listing is even worse. Try and pick out i3-gaps... quickly: https://paste.opensuse.org/40948260 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

David, I thought we already had an open ticket on that (and I agree with you), but please write to admin@o.o and complain. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You clearly have some different browser settings to me, since I see alternate white and light grey backgounds behind the lines, with mid-grey single-pixel separators (i.e an approximation to traditional line-printer paper). The colour differences are helpful to the extent that they compensate for the outrageously wide separation between the names and the other colums, such as date, and allow me to associate the one with the others. Could somebody please post a URL to the ticket? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I sent "New HTML-ized mirror listing bloats listing size making it awkward to read" to admin@o.o on 7/28 -- but the damn o.o didn't expand to opensuse.org (my bad) Resending now - long message, I'll copy list with what I send so you can add comments. -- David C.

The visual aspect is very nice if you use a plain text web browser like "links" - and yes, it responds to mouse clicks: Index of /repositories/X11: (p1 of 2) Link: canonical openSUSE Download * Shortcuts debug distribution factory ports repositories source tumbleweed update If you have a server with some space left, and want to help with making the openSUSE experience better for other users, become a mirror! This is the download area of the openSUSE distributions and the openSUSE Build Service.

But I have no idea of the size of the html it downloads (does it download the full bloat, then ignore it?). The page appears instantly, though. There is links (B&W), lynx (no mouse but some colour), w3m (mouse, but double clicking, dark colours). Some choices. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
