Any thoughts on this?
I'd like to talk to Chris Lumens and Jeremy Katz about the idea of a --source flag to the repo directive in pykickstart. This could store some info in the repo object that could alert pykickstart consumers that the repo in question is designed for source and thus we can deal with it correctly when we want the source vs the binary/noarch. This still requires the user creating the config specify that this repo is --source, but I don't think that this is too much to ask.
For composing tools with just kickstart configuration, I guess yum plugins such as protectbase and fastestmirror are out-of-scope now, would it be worth something to keep these in mind nonetheless? (--protect?) Other directives such as includepkgs or exclude could become worthwhile at some point, too.
Kind regards,
