Hi Andreas,

On a similar note I would like to complain, that today there is not
mechanism for introducing user's packages from Build Service into
Factory.

I spoken with few people on build service mailing list, but we came to
no conclusion.

I think that the best would be to make a new Build Service project
called: "Factory-Candidates", which is made out of packages that
already stable and already in the build service but wanna be
contributed into "Factory".

It may function similarly to Mandriva's "contrib", except for better
quality control.

And after some tests, those packages should become part of factory.

Reason:
openSUSE lacks in the packages arena - both copmpared to Mandriva and
Debian which have much more packages and useful utilities, and
extensions for applications, that are part of distro.

I'm willing to contribute. Both at testing/maintaining/building RPMs.
