Having a specially crafted rss feed that can help a tool to import the repo key and then install the reponame-release package seemlessly for a repo is reasonable. Each post on to that rss feed would include 2 urls one for the repo key and one for the release package as well as some simple information describing the repo. The gui-tool could parse the structured posts to the rss feed and compile a list of additional repos from the user to select. On selection the keys for the repos are imported and then the signed packages which provide the configs are installed You still run into the problem of how to advertise that feed. I don't think you can get away with turning on support for a feed like that by default. And then there are the murky issues about how to notify the users about the consequences of choosing to use repos which overlap with Core and Extras.. before they choose to install configs for those repos. -jef -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
