Couldn't the user add the repo names themselves? Adding third party repositories is a legit feature in and of itself, so we could have a list of repos of official Fedora mirrors and channels like Extras and Alternatives (and stable/test/release etc), that was autopolulated, and a field for a user to add other URLs. Then we're just talking about a GUI for repo management. --jeremy -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
