At the very least the OBS needs to be expanded. Right now in Yast
"Community repositories" very few of the available repositories are
even listed. One needs to manually search the OBS and add the
repositories they are interested in. If at the very least the
"Community repositories" list were kept as-is but added a new
repository that consists of the packages that one must manually search
for this might solve some of those concerns and make the software more
available to openSUSE users (sort of like the "universe" and
"multiverse" repos for a popular Debian-based distribution)
