I've never added a third party repo before, but I assume all I need is the
url.  So, I went to the faq on the packman site to try to get that url.  I
went to the Help tab and clicked on the "Packman FAQ" link and it was
written a foreign language (German?).  Could you tell me what URL I need to
add to YAST to get access to these packages?
