New rpmdrake-1.3-10mdk is nice, it correctly accepts all configured media
and has dialog to add media. BTW where is a button to "update" media?

One thing I noted - it lists packages multiple times. To explain: I
currently have two base cdrom1 and cdrom2 from 7.2 and I configured
additionally cooker that holds part of cooker packages. Now I have
e.g. two MandrakeUpdates, several XFree versions (4.0.1 and 4.0.2) etc. It
cannot be right. I expect one of

- only the latest ("current") versions of packages are listed. More
thorough check would list only those packages that do not have unresolved
dependencies (it is possible to have broken media after all).

- some way to mark media as "base" and "update" (or whatever else) is
needed. This is quite useful to allow "roll back" to previous versions if
needed. Actually, if rpmdrake is expected to replace MandrkeUpdate,
something in this direction is needed anyway.

But in no case should user see two different versions at the same
time. OTOH it may be a problem of urpmi that actually generates the
package list. I have urpmi-1.5-6mdk.
