There is already the yast2-metapackage-handler in factory what will be used for this (also). You can already create .ymp files on the server side to make use of it.

I guess you are talking about adding the functionality into the installer (which must be done before RC, while the list of availble repos can be updated during RC phase) while Bernhard is talking about creating the packman repository. The integration into installer is being worked on, however, I cann't promise any particular Alpha/Beta release which will contain it. Ah, now I see I was misunderstood. I absolutely don't want Packman/Guru team to prepare packages for Alpha/Beta/Factory. I meant possibility of one-click-adding Packman or Guru repo to "Installation sources" using some YaST's module. Just to make normal user's life simpler. Example: someone want to play DivX, so we say sth like: 1) Open YaST 2) Click "New source" 3) Check "Packman" 4) Click "Add" 5) Install "Mplayer" using "Software Management" Over. -- Rafał Miłecki

Adding which functionality? We (Packman) simply don't provide packages for 10.3 until the first RC is released. It's simply not possible to rebuild all packages every two weeks.

[opensuse-factory] Integration of external repositories
Andreas Jaeger mentioned over month ago that openSUSE 10.3 will provide better integration of external repos: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-announce/2007-05/msg2.html I use openSUSE FACTORY version and can not see any nice method of adding Packman or Guru in YaST. Is any team doing something about this? I think openSUSE needs some easy way of adding 3rd party repositories. -- Rafał Miłecki
