Sorry, but: lol Packman used to be THE one stop shop for everything that mattered besides the main Repo (by MAIN I mean the setup repos OSS and Non-OSS, not OBS) And today? - Assault-Cube is in OBS games - RawTherapee is in graphics - Sometimes when asking for current Firefox one is linked to the OBS mozilla-repo instead of Suse-Update (ok, not a Packman issue here) - plus a whole bunch of others, sometimes even suspicious homebrew repos To me, OBS is the exact opposite of what packman used to be: - No quality assured - various repos which hopefully add up to a runing system - unclear what can be found where While one used to need oss, non-oss, update and packman in the past, there is the need for half a dozend other repos today. So what have you been talking about when saying "find it in main repo"? Let me copy it again: > The stories like, 'add this repo to install X, add this one to get Y, etc' - > don't sound good, especially for new users... Right. So very right. And it is exactly what the Packman reorganisation made reality. I clearly vote to go back to the old approach: Packman as a high quality one stop shop.
