Good. Thats cool. Like Sonja said its very interesting.

Thats what im talking about. I would very much like to avoid things like
this. Look for instance at the current repositorys that exist. Why is it
so hard to use them? Because they are spread around over different
"projects" with no common base, with no coordination and with very
limited communication. That situation is pretty hard to solve because
everyone is used to his own webspace, spec macros, build structure, repo
structure and everything else that is neccessary to manage a repository
of packages. Dont get me wrong everybody like pascal, james, susers-*,
the packmans have right to be proud of what they archived and its a good
thing that we stepped forward and made things happen. But now its time
to take it to the next level and work together under the hood of
openSUSE, which is a process that, by the way, some susers, pascal and
we (packman) already started. 

On the other hand all you want to do is adding another repository. That
does not help in any way. If you read the sentence from the roadmap
again you will see that openSUSE plans to bring packagers together. That
is what we need not another one of your forks....
