packages or package groups provided by the custom yum repos appear on the
subsequent package detail screen.
> * also, updating the tests to confirm that you can select a package
provided by the added yum repo and ensure it's selected and installed as
expected
I've modified the test cases for covering these 2 points.

confirm all create/modify/delete operations work on the added repos.
> 1. Add a new yum repo using the recommended method (CD/DVD, http, nfs
etc...)

> 1. Add it again ... then modify the repo (changing the name)
> 1. Enable and disable the created repository
I can see that you want to make the test cases cover more conditions. But
here I agree with Liam that if we do so, the test cases may have too much
possible conditions and look very wired. I think we design general cases
to serve our need and that's ok.
So I improved especially mirrorlist repo case and now we have covered the
following items:
1. Check the existing repos listed in the screen.
2. Provide new repo address by Add/modify buttion to have additional one.
3. The method includes HTTP/FTP, CD/DVD, NFS.
4. Verify them in next screen and after reboot.

> To accomplish the first 2 points, we may need to create several sample
yum repos (hosted on one of our fedorapeople.org pages) that provides the
needed conditions to satisfy the tests. The command {{{createrepo -g
comps.xml /path/to/packages}}} can be used to create a yum repo with
package groups. The comps.xml file used with FEdora is included in the
repodata directory (see
[http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Fedora/x86_64/os/repodata/6a72ae27742d1b4ac04f2eec0e5ffb0b7c909d58b9c6e346a7ee5cfb627832d4-Fedora-12-comps.xml
comps.xml]).
I've made some experiments on my pc by setting up a local apache to test
it. It works but I don't know how to host them on fedorapeople.org pages
for everyone to use. Is it very tough? :)
