Please have a look at the last comments of the bug. Most of the
implementation is done, the only missing part is how to mount the CD/DVD
in PackageKit!

Thanks,

If you can install "gnome-packagekit-extra" if using Gnome?

Is houls allow you to choose which sources\repos to use.
  

No, the problem is this: PackageKit does not know how to mount a removable media. As noted in the last comment of the mentioned bug, Muayyad Alsadi has implemented four methods for mounting a removable media: using DeviceKit, using GIO, using HAL and calling the system's mount command. The DeviceKit implementation cannot mount the device because of default system policies (the backend is running as root), GIO has a bug and does not allow mounting, HAL is deprecated, and PackageKit developer doesn't like mounting using the system's mount command!

Thanks,
Hedayat
