Since it's illegal to include Packman with the openSUSE release.
This is a common misconception. Try this in yast:
Software -> Software Repositories Add -> Community Repositories [x] Packman Repository
Yeah! Are we getting somewhere or what!?
Yes, very slowly. Unfortunatly we forgot to make a law against secrecy. :-)
Maybe, we can create a package named "multimedia-pack" so that people download it all in one go.
This should be possible, if done right. We need to be careful to not create any liability for the openSUSE project or sponsors. I assume it would need a foolproof method to 'educate' the user that he is about to pull in software from beyond our control and what the implications are.(*)
Please ping me or legal-devel@suse.de for review, if you have a prototype.
I really think we should simplify this of we want to increase the user base.
Definitly yes. The current procedure has plenty of room for some customer focus.

*) We most possibly had a good reason for disapproving a piece of software if it is not in our repositories. Such reason may or may not apply to an individual end user.
