A Karma system and an OBS plugin for YaST would definitely help. However, we should also consider doing something for gnome-software and apper. If we can make zypper collect metadata from all repositories and intelligently analyze them, we can also benefit those who use the previously mentioned applications as well.
Definitely against zypper being "clever enough" to add some random repositories. But I might be worth extending cnf to search software.opensuse.org. But I'm not doing neither that nor YaST plugin :-)

I'm glad that I didn't actually ask you to write either of them :) You're free to write whatever you want and not to write whatever you want. Since this is a discussion about what we (as a project) could possibly do about what we already have, let's stick to giving sound arguments and counterarguments. If you're against zypper being "clever enough" to suggest adding repositories, then you must certainly have a reason to be against it. Could you please enlighten us about the possible flaws of that?
Few points: * cnf was made to help people find the package they want * zypper is not used only in openSUSE * zypper is cmd line tool for managing sw ** it's target audience are skilled sysadmins ** making suggestions will *** take more time to search *** make results a little confusing *** if you make it user friendly, people can accidentally add repositories
Bottom line - zyppers target audience can search for sw using osc and add repositories. Target audience you have in mind uses YaST.

Fair enough. So far, we can all agree that: 1 - A reputation (Karma) system would help 2 - Hiding the home repositories by default has its merits 3 - Users should be encouraged to submit packages to the main repositories Anyone has any suggestions on how to encourage users to submit packages to the main repositories? Also, is the idea of reviving Contrib out of the question? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
