Maybe something even better: isn't it possible for a repository to
automatically include another repository. For example, it would be great
if one repository could "depend" on more repositories (rpm.livna.org,
macromedia.mplug.org, jpackage.org etc...) so that end-users would only
have to add 1 line in there yum.conf and still get packages from many
repositories. It would be a kind of meta-repository.

Is it already do-able in apt/yum or should I file a request for
enhancement ?
