Does package kit provide a generic method to set up a yum repository?
(obviously only applicable for RPM-based systems). Right now that is
another one of my pain points: setting up repositories across
suse/fedora/red hat, et al is not possible in a generic way even though
they all support yum repositories.
how do you mean 'setup'. All of the above distros use createrepo to
setup a repo.
or do you mean setup in the package mgmt software, sense?
I mean setup in the package mgmt software sense. As in setting up yum to
pull from a repo. I'm wondering if it is in-scope for package kit to
provide a backend-independent way of setting up the client side.

Well, there is a tool for enabling repositories. Maybe that could be extended
to include a dialog for retrieving a new repo configuration or editing one
(although that seems like digging a bit deep for a basic user config UI).
System->Administration->Software Sources (this is 'pk-repo')
