[issue350] [PLUGIN] Sync Yum channels

[Keith Roberts]

I'm also running Fedora 8 and smart 0.52. I think that would 
be brilliant to have a plugin to sync smart and yum 
channels. At the moment I have to keep the channels in sync 
by hand.

I was thinking about writing an application that would 
convert different channel/repo files to different package 
manager format. But this would save me the time and trouble.

Why can't the package managers agree on a standard format 
for their channel/repo file format. That would make life 
alot easier IMHO.

Kind Regards

Keith Roberts
