One question, how would a new user know about the existence of packages in packman without the warning that packman packages are not shown in the search machine (this is without polemic, just trying to understand the design logic of the search).
use yast??
That will not work by default, till one is aware and adds the packman repo.
The information is out there, but in subtle manners, not direct.
If you know the system with packman you are already insider. I do not discuss of course the legal issue, it is known. But at least a sentence "other community repos not listed here may offer supplemental software" in the bottom of the page may be helpful. So at least you know that it is not listing all opensuse software. Because the new user for sure will think that packman is part of opensuse software... while with all probability not having the whole subculture underlying. As you say, once you know not a problem. But a newbie (or somebody like me that knows or should at least, and simply forgot) will be for a second disorientated. In my case I was not recalling it was a packman package. So my bad.
