First pkg-bindings feedback... I'm trying to solve two issues:

1) to provide files from repos, pkg-bindings should use Fetcher, because
   it can make use of cached files, right? But we need a method
   to get the cache dir path of a particular repository either in
   RepoInfo, Repository, or RepoManager.

2) There is a special request to have replacement for
   zypp::Source::provideDirTree(Pathname dir_r, media_nr);
   which is used e.g. by product creator.

   This could be solved on Fetcher level by adding
   Fetcher::enqueDir(OnMediaLocation dir, bool recursively);

Opinions?

Cheers,

Jano
