It would be great if people were able to add more URLs from where to download such repository descriptions.
Yes, indeed, I'm thinking of using opensuse-community.org to host such a file for Packman, Guru, etc... repositories that may not be suggested by Novell.
The current solution involves two-level-linking: 1.) List of servers (URLs) where to find lists of repositories 2.) Lists of repositories The first-level is maintained by Novell, the other by either Novell or the community, of course. Otherwise it wouldn't make much sense to have two levels... Bye Lukas
