Cf. HAL policy, for example. Fedora contains a shipped configuration (XML, whatever) that ties a particular button to a method that displays informative information. Third-party repos ship codec-buddy-$our_name, which maybe $our_name-release requires, that overrides this policy to provide a different callback, such as calling yum. A thousand ways to skin this cat, but the essence is that third party repos should be able to provide this functionality. -- Paul W.
