[webmin-l] Software Packages Module

[James E. J. <jam...@sb...>]

Hey guys, Jamie, and all you other wonderful developers out there. (So
sue me, I am kissing up a bit here LOL).  Have a question regarding the
Software Packages Module.

Now, I know that this module will allow for installations via YUM,
however, the one thing I did not see available is the option to have YUM
look for packages in other repositories.

For example, with cAos Linux, we have 4 repositories available, Core,
Stable, Current, and Testing.  We also have Dag Wieers YUM repository
available.  Now, the way that cAos is setup, Core is enabled by default,
as is whichever build you have installed (such as with mine, I run the
Testing build).

Normally, from command line, if I wanted to install a package, I would
just type:

yum install foo

However, if package foo was not available in either Core or Testing, but
it was available in Dag, I could just type:

yum --enablerepo dag install foo

And it would search Core, Testing, and Dag.

How difficult would it be to add something similar to the Software
Packages module in future releases?

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the history lesson of YUM. :)
