opensuse-mutimedia repository?

Hi!

I just began to try OpenSuSE. My distribution of choice was Ubuntu
before.

I noticed that - compared to Ubuntu - it is really hard in OpenSuSE to
get a great multimedia experience. Ubuntu has the (more or less)
official universe and multiverse repositories which include most
multimedia packages + a meta package.

You just have to install the meta package and you get a nice multimedia
experience.

In OpenSuSE, you have to add packman or guru which is not bad. But those
repositories also update packages which you may want to keep.

I personally want my system to consist of as much official packages as
possible. It is not that important to me to have the latest versions.


So I wanted to ask if there is something like a opensuse-multimedia
repository, which does not contain lots of updated packaged (of course,
libxine would have to get updated) and nice multimedia packages like
w32codecs (?) libdvdcss (?), dvdrip, various gstreamer packages, lame
and so on.


If there is nothing similar currently, I'd like to hear some feedback
and discuss with you guys. Maybe we can install the OpenSuSE
buildservice on an own server and do opensuse-multimedia then?




Cheers,
Martin
