Description Petr Cerny 2007-08-29 18:01:53 UTC 
In the "Add repository" dialog in "Software Repositories" module in YaST, user is  required to fill in multiple fields which are then concatenated into one string (files in /etc/zypp/repos.d). However, users usually get these information (protocol, server name, port, directory) as one string - typically URL. Forcing them to split it by hand is quite unnecessary and annoying. One field with complete URI should be sufficient and more effective.

This already exists via the "specify url" option. There is already a request to make this default.
