I recently switched back to openSUSE (thanks God, 10.2 fixed YaST back!)
for practical reasons (good and large repos & 3rd party repos, low number of 
bugs compared to Fedora 7 and Mandriva Spring, especially low number of 
out-of-the-box bugs, good KDE4 testbed, etc.), and I am trying to focus on what 
I want to do with it -- while I still have to cool down every time I see a red 
"N", because it reminds me of that picture with Ron & Steve...

I have plans to learn Qt4 development with C++ and Python, and thus python-qt4 
is important -- the only popular distros having python-qt4 (or PyQt4) being 
openSUSE, Debian, Ubuntu, Mandriva and Pardus (Fedora lacks it, and so does 
EHEL5/CentOS5/SL5).

I have added most of the the (mainly official) repos of here: 
http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories
and some of the extra repos listed here:
http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories

HOWEVER, in order to find a python-qt4 package, I MUST use the web search 
interface:
http://benjiweber.co.uk:8080/webpin/index.jsp?searchTerm=python-qt4&distro=openSUSE_102
to find that a python-qt4 (4.1.1) package is available only from here:

http://software.opensuse.org/download/devel:/languages:/python/openSUSE_10.2

I should then add the following repo file to YaST1:
http://software.opensuse.org/download/devel:/languages:/python/openSUSE_10.2/devel:languages:python.repo


QUESTION: Isn't there any "meta-repo" for all the repos under 
"http://software.opensuse.org/download/";, so I don't need to perform a web 
search then to add dozens of repos in order to get extra development packages?

The variety of sources in openSUSE is very beneficial, but having dozens of 
repos is a PITA -- especially when those under software.opensuse.org/download/ 
could have been united, as they're from a single server, actually!

Thanks,
R-C
