DESCRIPTION

23       system-config-repo provides a graphical interface to a single  configu‐
24       ration  file  in /etc/yum.repos.d. Using the GUI a user can enable/dis‐
25       able the repository, view the package list and inspect the signing  key
26       used inclusive fingerprint.

DATA SOURCES

30       To  gather  more  info,  application  checks if there is a package with
31       information (summary, description, icon, etc.) on the repository  file.
32       The  first  check  is  if the repository is owned by a package. If this
33       fails, application tries to locate a package which requires the reposi‐
34       tory  file.  In  any  case,  in order to be used a package must provide
35       "repo-gui" to be used. If no package is found it defaults to "Default".
36
37       The  package found this way is used as <package> in the following.
38
39       The gui gathers data from different sources  to  provide  info  on  the
40       package.  In priority it uses:
41
42       ·  Data in the directory /usr/share/system-config-repo/repos/<package>.
43          Description, summary etc are represented  as  files  named  descrip‐
44          tion.txt,  summary  .txt  etc. A file named icon.png is displayed if
45          present.
46
47       ·  The appdata file /usr/share/appdata/<package>.appdata.xml. This file
48          contains possibly localized description and summary.
49
50       ·  The  rpm  database  provides  a non-localized version of summary and
51          description.
52
53       ·  The path  /usr/share/system-config-repo/Default contains last resort
54          default values.

RESTRICTED OPERATION

58       A  repository  file  which  is  writable  by  current  user  is updated
59       directly.  If the repo file is not writeable, an attempt to  update  it
60       using  sudo(8)  is  done. The package installs a sudo config file which
61       allow all members of the wheel group to update the repository file.
