Description

It is very common to add a new packages repository.
It would be nice to have a dedicated technique for that.

Basically, to add a repository you have to:

  1. Add a file which contains the coordinates of the repository.
  2. Import the gnupg key of the repository.
  3. Update the package management cache.

The coordinates of the repository are usually different depending on the distribution, and the OS version, but the principle is the same.

As a side feature, it would be also very nice add some repository as a dependency for a given package: see #3824.
