Thanks :D

Much better than I had hoped for.

I chedked your blog post and wonder how you aquire the list of all
YaST packages and their desktop files?

Well, this must be done somehow manually (or by script [1]) but we have
an internal tool (PDB Package DataBase) that allows this query:
PACKAGES=`pdb query --release stable-i386 --filter
"rpmfile:/usr/share/applications/YaST2/*" --attribs packname | xargs` [2]

Frankly, I had to manually edit the list as some obsolete or
non-openSUSE packages were listed.

I am sorry to include myself in this discussion so lately, but I believe
I have to admit one thing: I totally dislike the idea of filling yast
with even more tabs and options... it is full enough already.

I would rather set up a simple webpage where yast modules can be
installed via ymp. This way those (not-installed) modules would be kept
out out of yast as well as they could be easily grouped (like "server",
"hardware", etc) on the webpage. The only thing in yast I might include
might be a button "install yast modules" in the software menu.
