That way, you can publish one such repository description file on your website, that users download an import (or even open directly from in the browser), and then all your software can be accessed from the same management tool. Perhaps one could create "repository rpms", similar to how public GPG keys are imported and stored in the rpm db? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> An "application/x-yum-repository" file format which mozilla knew how to feed to a simple app would certainly be nice. You'd still need a simple management tool as you say - so people can remove them, but "click here to add Nethack" is a nice interface 8) </pre> </blockquote> To do so is trivial, of course. We need to have a nice app for people to use, of cource. Once that happens it's pretty easy to make an application mapping for Mozilla to use. --Chris <pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">-- ------------ Christopher Blizzard <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://people.redhat.com/blizzard/">http://people.redhat.com/blizzard/</a> ------------ </pre> </body> </html>
