[UI, 2.3] Editing a custom repository doesn't allow you to modify distribution, component.

[Andres Rodriguez]

I added a custom package repository that included a custom distribution and component. However, when I went to edit it, it did not show the boxes to edit the distribution or the component.

See the screenshots below for adding vs editing.

Did you by chance replace a ppa: url with a repository one?

If the repo is a PPA, you can't edit components. For standard repositories, edit also allows changing distributions and components

This is just a custom repository, but used a PPA as an example (i was testing something else that lead me to this bug report).

So the interface for adding/editing PPAs and custom repos is the same, but for PPAs we don't allow setting components and distributions, since the component is always "main" and distribution is matched with the one being deployed.

When editing, a repo is considered a PPA (thus not showing the extra fields) if the urls starts with "ppa:" or the host is ppa.launchpad.net.

From your screenshots, you're hitting the second case.
