I really, really, really would love to see a lot of maintainers for one huge repo, which everybody (after some quilification) can link they YaST to, to get anything they like. That way it can already be added at instalation.
We already had some discussion about it, I'm sure you've seen the threads some 2-3 weeks ago. Note that we almost have "one huge repo", and that's Packman. [cut] Having it added at installation time isn't really necessary.
Being quite new to the SuSE bandwagon I'm going to ask (maybe) a stupid question. One, if not THE, thing I like about mandriva is: http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ it's a web page where any one can go, select his distro-version, select geographically the mirror he likes, and the tipe of mirror he needs: A) Core distribution: - Source contrib : Some packages made by voluntaries or Mandriva, no support, no update for it. - Source main : The core of the Mandriva Linux distribution - Source updates : Official updates for Mandriva Linux, including security updates B) Other repository - Source jpackage : java stuff in here - Source plf-free : - Source plf-nonfree : Free to download and use, non-free as in licence having set that the average guy (like me) is sure to have the 95% of the distro existing rpms available. Now, given that we have to resolve the problem of the packman and/or suser-developer mirrors, this kind of approact is likely to be examinated ? Many thanks ! -- .~.
