My naive approach would be to:
- allow repositories to be defined by a single URL (this is what third-party
repositories
for Synology, iOS jailbreak, Cyanogen, etc. use)
- use a custom scheme in the software center to pass those URLs, eg.
gnome-software://rpmrepos.org/my-stable-repo
or even defining multiple repos with a single URL:
gnome-software://rpmrepos.org
The software center can now show you the list of repositories offered by this URL
- Convince repo maintainers to add those URLs to web pages
This, however, I think *would* be in line with the board's position -
it's effectively a better integrated version of the status quo.
