This if there aren't any legal troubles... Pacman may be inserted here http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/ or, better, at first level http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ Thank you, Carlo p.s. Another external repo is VLC one: http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/SuSE/ Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: First there may be many synergies (and not many conflicts and human efforts waste) between Pacman and others OBS repos like Multimedia ones, KDE and also VLC one!!! Second I just fall in a pacman mirror no more updated and I must go back to the main and historic one http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/ Unify is the main verb! :-) Discussion: #1: Rémy Marquis (spyhawk) (2010-11-05 10:51:37) There *are* legal troubles, and that the reason why Packman is a 3rd party repository. + #2: Carlo Strata (carlo_strata) (2010-11-05 10:52:53) + A third reasons are quality, quality and quality. + #3: Carlo Strata (carlo_strata) (2010-11-05 10:54:17) + Thankyou: it's a very pity! ;-) -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310793

I don't know why packman isn't listed there, possibly due to legal reasons. + #5: Mariusz Fik (fisiu) (2010-11-12 22:59:49) (reply to #4) + You're wrong. Packman repo is also available in Community repository + list. Look on this screenshoot, made on 11.3: + http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/5246/yastcommunityrepositori.png + Anyway, those 2 repos can't be included as requested. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/310793
