The change would be to extend the .repo format to support something like
[channelName]
name=A sample repository
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://..../BinaryRepo/OS/Version
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=.....
enabled=1
dep-baseurl=http://..../DataRepo/
dep-gpgcheck=1
dep-gpgkey=......
(optionally multiple dependencies, but that is probably nothing that should be needed)
So, the new part would be dep-* which would instruct to link in at least on more repo.
What other solution can you see? Of course, the user can add 2 repos, but that's a thing more or less impossible to instruct all users.
The important part would be to have the SPEC for this .repo file set to a new version. Of course at the beginning not all binaries will interpret them (but they are hopefully kinda grateful on unknown parameters)
so: you think there's really nothing that can be discussed about such a feature request anymore?
