[opensuse-web] Broken link to Package Repositories?
On page http://software.opensuse.org/developer/en and under the side heading "Software", there is a link labelled "Package Repositories". However, this link leads to http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories. I assume that it is supposed to point to http://en.opensuse.org/Package_repositories instead. I have spent many fun-filled hours trying to find the "official repositories", and I've almost always failed to crawl my way to the very bottom of the "Additional" page where they are hidden away under "See Also". Unfortunately, this glitch has been around for a year or so and it is possible that many users have gotten used to this oddity and will be confused if the hyperlink is just swapped, so a less simple remedy may be needed. Perhaps both links should be listed under the "Software" side-heading?

no ;-). The official distribution repositories are always automatically added to the installed system. Among other important repositories they are also available via YaST -> Software Repositories -> Add -> Community Repositories. Even when doing an installation via Network with the mini iso, the official repositories are pre-configured. It is much harder to find third repositories (which are normally not under Community Repositories in YaST), therefore we have added the link.

At the top of the "Additional package repositories" there now is a green box with the following content (it was added end of December): ---------- This is a list of currently existing third-party repositories, [...] For official repositories (OSS, non-OSS, updates) and semi official repositories (including KDE, GNOME and Java repositories) see <link>Package Repositories</link>.
