I would like to have a separate file for each repository, similar to the contents of /etc/newsyslog.conf.d/ or /etc/syslog.d/. If there is one file for each repository, it can be managed using simple tools such as cp / rm / sed to enable, disable or modify repositories - good for scripted setups and automation. However, if there are multiple repositories in one file, this task becomes much more complicated. Kind regards Miroslav Lachmanhelp
