What about a repodata enabled _repository_  I really mean repository and not a 
bunch of directories scattered around a server, like it is now.  Have a look at 
my 
apt (repodata enabled) sources.list file:

repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/kolab suse-10.1
repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/ 
suse
repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/update 10.1
repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/install/10.1/SUSE-Linux10.1-RC2-Extra suse
repomd ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/apt4rpm rpmkeys

It's a big mess.  It's not the apt way of doing with all components in 1 place, 
like e.g:
rpm ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ SuSE/10.1-i386 packman usr-local-bin 

When will there be a centralized package repository for suse (including 3rd 
party
contributred packages).  The repository should provide a list of all packages 
and files
in the repository (including on the not subscribed channels/components).
