organized etc. Thirdly having groups for libraries, -lang packages and -devel packages means that users end up searching through hundreds of packages that aren't what they are looking for and should really only be installed by dependencies.
These can easily get an additional tag or whatever mark to hide them from search results by default and just include them if "really show me everything" is checked.
By the way -- *-lang packages are hopefully only "Recommends:"-ed anyway and since alomost everyone nowaday uses "--no-recommends" for daily business anyway, it would be actually helpful to have a tag "language package" on them, maybe even with the actual language they contain as an additional tag, so that they can be found and installed manually.
Maybe everyone in certain parts of the community are using --no-recommends but pretty much everyone I talk to is not. Longer term language packages really need fixing properly, that means that in yast you should configure the languages that you want and then using supplements all the right packages for your language get installed. A similar better solution to the problem you describe here is a yast filter that lists all the packages that are recommended for your system but not installed then you could search that list for *-lang and get everything you care about or for any other package where you might actually want the recommended packages for whatever reason. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
