For services we could use the same layout as in the traditional yast, there is a small combo box in the upper right corner for switching between service and repository view. > Btw. my personal impression of the layout: > I find it hard to get a real overview of the repos if I only can see one of > them in detail.

Another problem might be with priority - high priority repository shadows lower priority repositories. Maybe the priority should be displayed when it's different to the default (99). -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: [email protected] Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
