- rename repository (alias, i.e. identifier)
  (if it is the only repo in the .repo file, rename also the repo file)
- disable/enable the repo
- disable/enable autorefresh for the repo
- set long name (description)
- disable/enable gpg check, specify signature location
- add/remove a baseUrl
- add/remove a mirror URL
- ...anything else?

- since we support more repositories defined within a single .repo file
  this will need to be considered if we decide to implement the
  modifications by removing old repo file and replacing it with a new
  (modified) one.


I think an additional API would be handy for this task (covering all of
the above) at last. Something like:

RepoManager::modifyRepository(const std::string & repo_alias, const
RepoInfo & new);

Client just creates it's own modified RepoInfo object and leaves all
what's needed on zypp. Of course we need to provide methods for
modifying the RepoInfo that we currently don't provide (if any).

Also RepoManager::getRepoInfo(const std::string & repo_alias) would be
nice so that clients don't need to extract the RepoInfo file from
knownRepositories() themselves, if they want to create modified RepoInfo
out of the original one. This would be a very simple convenience method.

So the client code could look like:

RepoManager manager;
RepoInfo repo = manager.getRepoInfo(alias);
repo.setAlias(new_alias);
repo.setEnabled(false);
repo.removeMirror(url); // whatever
manager.modifyRepository(alias, repo);


Cheers,

Jano
