Bug Description
Hi,
Please find attached a screenshot showing what happens when some repositories are not available.
I think this dialog can be improved a few ways:
- rather than just displaying 2 lines (of 12), display all tweleve
- rather than just displaying as much as will fit horizontally, perhaps perform common string replacement and display things heirarchically?
e.g.
in this case the url might be:
http://
http://
http://
perhaps:
http://
foo/main/
foo/main/
foo-updates/
instead?
Regards,
Anand
