Personally I tend to trust packman (and indeed guru and several build service) builds having used them for ages. My question is more about the intent of these pages. Is it to provide any link (no matter how reliable) to SUSE rpms, or is it to provide links to better known (or only official) builds?
Good question indeed.
This is good idea, to put link to package next to whish list entry. That will mark that we already have that package and prevent future entries.
The other method might be to leave wish list entry to prevent new proposals and add link to the page where will be listed packages that we have in a build service repository.
What do you think?
The main problem here is that you can not trust all packages in the build service (and I suppose also not all at packman) in an equal way.
Some packages use sources from less or more trusted projects, some only from some single deveoper and so on. And the packages are also created by complete different people.
This is something we want to target with a trust and rating system in future, but there no detailed plans yet :/

Hey guys, Sorry I got a little confused about which wishlist was being discussed, LOL, being so vain I thought it was /education#wishlist LOL. I was wondering if there could be a page that is like the gui for SmartPM where you can type in a title and it searches our site for download info on the package and presents the info and\or its download location? This could eventually present the trust\rating info too. it could record each download, if the bug report info gets into the rpm format, then it could also record the number of bug reports, the difference between the #of downloads to the #of bug reports could be a "Trust Rating". On the subject of downloads and wishlists, could we also set a section of the middle of http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org under "Getting OpenSUSE" called "Getting Software that runs on OpenSUSE" or "Getting software Certified by OpenSUSE"? couldn't this point to the above search tool eventually? is that a Henne question? In my opinion finding the ftp is still to hard, because the main download link on the left points to downloading OpenSUSE and it isn't clear where to go to get ISV stuff for OpenSUSE. The "Package Repository" link\page points mainly to updates to packages delivered in OpenSUSE. I may be thinking to much like a newbie but isn't that who we want to attract?
