Description:
  You perhaps remember the hacks Benjamin did to support  "click and
  install" packages (similar to Click'n run) [1]
  Benjamin has another article in his blog that is worth to read.
  He has been providing a wepage to search packages from repositories
  like packman and build service. Now he presents an architecture to
  desentralize the system, using web services an indexers, and he shows
  working prototypes of YaST modules for searching, and others like web
  and irc-bot clients
  http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/bweber/entry/package_search_developments/
  I hope we can provide a strategy and roadmap to integrate these cool
  ideas and _code_.

  For 10.3 the installer should be able to make use of an external list
  of repositories. I suggest to host such a list at
  http://packages.opensuse-community.org/ together with the search
  engine, which is already there.

  Implementation on openSUSE BS already started, Adrian knows the
  details.

  We work on two approaches atm:
  * YaST will support (thanks to mvidner) additional repository offers
  during installation. The list gets hosted on our servers, the open
  question is how to maintain this list.
  * The build service End-User interface will offer .ymp files based on
  pattern submissions for easy installation.

  Adrian, please, drive this. The feature for YaST should be done now
  (let me know if anything is missing).
   
  #6: michl@xxxxxxxxxx (2007-11-22 11:26:30) 
  This sounds like very useful. And it might be possible the community
  (in this case Benji) helps implementing this.
   
+ #7: aj@xxxxxxxxxx (2008-06-06 10:56:28) 
+ Apparently not done - please reject and postpone for 11.1.
