Feature changed by: Carl Nissen (CFN7) Feature #311267, revision 8 Title: Two tier option to Community repository list openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Carl Fletcher (caf4926) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In brief: Working in Yast > Software Repositories Add > Community Repositories 1) Make a default community repo list Eg: OSS, NON-OSS, UPDATES, PACKMAN, NVIDIA, ATI, LIBDVDCSS 2) And offer an advanced option available with a toggle (That should include a warning that it is for advanced users) Where the full community list will be available Like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10573557/SUSE%20Misc/community_list_edit.png Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Reason: Typically many users who are installing openSUSE, perhaps for the first time are visiting the community repo list and just switching them all on. The result is not good and is giving users a bad experience. We obviously don't want to remove the option for using the complete list, but it would be better giving at least some indication that a degree of knowledge is required for their use. Discussion: #1: david shar (avenuemax) (2011-02-11 09:03:34) This will be a good move, i vote for it. I remember me enabling all repos and screwing it up. #2: Martin Seidler (pistazienfresser) (2011-02-13 18:30:30) I think in this way will also profit more advanced users if really *all* other openSUSE repositories will be in the advanced option. For example: When I was testing the 11.4 milestones I had to look for the URL of the compiz repository every time again (when I was testing the live CD versions to exclude my individual faults in my factory- tested installation). #3: Jim Barnhart (grandpa49) (2011-02-15 02:34:04) Sounds like a good idea to me. + #4: Carl Nissen (cfn7) (2011-02-17 04:46:21) + A good choice to offer -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/311267
