[Bug 361597] [NEW] gpk-repo has no way to add additional repos it doesn't already know about such as PPAs

[David Nielsen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: packagekit-gnome

Currently the interface for gpk-repo can only enable repos it already
knows about, this makes it impractical to add a separate source such as
a PPA. Additionally adding gpg keys for this is tricky. Perhaps
investigating the approach taking by distributions like Fedora where
every additional repo comes with a package file to describe it along
with a url for the gpg key which is then confirmed upon installation
would be an option.

packagekit-gnome-0.3.13-0ubuntu1.amd64
