I recently made an OBS search tool: [opi](>> https://github.com/openSUSE-zh/opi <https://github.com/openSUSE-zh/opi>>>  <>> https://github.com/openSUSE-zh/opi <https://github.com/openSUSE-zh/opi>>> >). It can search all packages from build.opensuse.org . Now I want to extend its functionality. Packman is definitely the most important external repository. I know it also runs a Open Build Service instance. This makes it possible to search Packman packages with the same API.
