Announcing repoman
------------------

Repoman is a PyGTK frontend for configuring common and basic settings
for yum.  Specifically, it lets users enable and disable individual
repos easily.  Users can add and remove repositories as well.

Repoman is not meant to expose all of yum's configuration settings in
GUI form, but rather the common settings most users will care about.

One of the interesting features is the Tracking page.  Users can easily
switch between stable (with or without updates) or development branches
and repoman will enable and disable the correct repositories for the
user.

Repoman also offers a set of Python classes for reading and writing out
/etc/yum.repos.d files.  The core element is the RepoStanza, which are
contained in RepoFiles, and all of those make up a Repos collection.

This program is evolving a lot, so help testing and/or coding is
appreciated.

Repoman is short for repository manager.
