Description Stephan Binner 2007-08-09 15:21:08 UTC

The YaST Control center shows an entry "Community Repositories" which starts a YaST module with "List of External Repositories" title that lists among others "Main Repository (OSS)" and "Main Repository (NON-OSS") which are not community repositories like the other entries.

A more accurate title than "Community Repositories" should be found. Suggestions: "Online Repositories", "Internet Repositories"

I thought about this too, but it's not too easy. Because I don't think your suggestions are really more helpful, in the sense of I know what icon to click. This is also because there is little functional and literal difference to "Software Repositories"(Helptext:Choose the repositories for installation of software packages(CD, network, etc.) Compare to "Community Repositories"(Helptext:Download and choose the community repositories from web.)

Maybe it would be an idea to give the helptext-line at the bottom of the window more space, and think of a sentence which really helps me to decide if I need to open this module without trying it out.

Those names don't belong to the control center package, but to the package of the respective module, in this case yast2-package maintained by lslezak.

just another note - the community repositories module uses inconsistent labelling :(

You click "Community Repositories", choose from a bunch of repos and then click "Finish" only to see that the module exits with "Adding Online Repositories".

Comment 4 Ladislav Slezák 2007-08-22 14:50:30 UTC

I don't know why "Community Repositories" has been chosen. Lukas?

Comment 5 Lukas Ocilka 2007-08-23 08:01:57 UTC

Label "Community Repositories" was wanted by Coolo (with no bugreport).

Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2007-08-24 06:34:04 UTC

We wanted to emphasis that you can add the community repos there - while adding the main online repos during installation. The inconsistent labeling is a problem I agree, but I would await feedback from usability testing if people look there for packman - and we don't have the time to do it right[tm]

Comment 7 Lukas Ocilka 2007-08-24 07:14:05 UTC

And additionally, captions in those dialogs have been already changed :)
(I hope these changes are already in Beta2)
