Feature Description

When linking a package to a repository, only the 30 most recently committed repositories are available. This means that if a package is to be added to an old repository, a dummy commit needs to be added because there seems to be no other direction to approach adding that link.

There are a couple ways that I can imagine making this workable:

Show the 30 most recent in the drop down, but allow search over the entire repository list.
Allow linking from both the package settings and the repo screen. This would allow the user to go to the desired repository and select from recent uploads to link them.

It should be a list with search box. I think 30 is enough if keyword search supported.
