Description Pierre Jarillon 2012-01-17 01:40:39 CET

Description of problem:

With edit-urpm-sources.pl, selecting all, everything can be done by a geek. But a normal user is unable to understand what is the use of 40 medias and manage them!
Another annoying thing is to insert the CD or the DVD each time a search is made.

The mode "update sources only" is useful for somebody who has a slow link and still uses the CD or DVD.
Bug: The tainted updates are not selected even if "Tainted Release" is already selected.

The mode "Complete set of sources" is only usable by a geek. It needs to appear in a "Advanced" feature.
Bug: this mode must unselect the CD or DVD because it is no longer useful.

A third mode "Recommended" or "Standard" should be useful for beginners. This mode must add Core, NonFree, Tainted and their updates and unselect the CD/DVD
This should be five times faster.

At the lower left corner, Help is empty. (Not the case for Mandriva 2010.2).

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Yes, this is valid. This is an enhancement I wish to find it in Mageia 3.
