Hi Axel

Your advice on selecting repos (today) said:

Using smart-gui, it is very easy to enable/disable individual repos by 
ticking boxes in Edit > Channels, but entering their details manually is 
tedious.  It's also unnecessary if the repo is in 'medley' - just 
install 'medley' and untick any repos that aren't required.

Would it be possible/a-good-idea to distribute atrpms-package-config 
with the medley repos present but deselected?  If that could be done, a 
a return-to-default would perhaps be useful too.

The alias names control the order of listing but aren't offered for 
editing, so choosing them carefully could make selection easier.
