Would Fedora carry a script or application intended to make easy access
to such third-party repositories available, even on the premise that they
carry proprietary software?
If the answer is "yes", then I would in fact be willing to work on this.
Well if its generic enough to work for any repository then its a very
much a nice feature to have. Wouldnt it be better to add this capability
to Pirut though?
