PackageKit developers disagree with you.  Since they are the ones doing
the work involved, their opinion has more weight.  Besides a static repo
file is less flexible than the ability for PackageKit to handle media
dynamically.   Meanwhile, you can push for the solution you recommend by
filling a RFE against fedora-release.

Thanks for the RFE, and just to make you sure that I am in touch with the bug you can see: http://hedayatvk.wordpress.com/2009/02/22/using-fedora-dvd-not-a-solution-but-a-bit-better/

But it is still not that good. And the implementation by Muayyad handles removable media much better. As it is 99% complete, it is really reasonable to get it 100% and make many users happy.

Anyway, thinking about the problem with DeviceKit system policies, I really feel that the current situation is flawed: a process running as root is able to mount a device either by calling mount system call or by running the mount command, but it is unable to mount a device using DeviceKit. Why?! This is an inconsistent policy IMHO. And I feel it should be fixed anyway. Any comments?

Thanks,
Hedayat
