RFC: Adding prepareapt (repository) task to softupdate action

[Jan-Marek Glogowski]

Hi,

I want to add the prepareapt task to the softupdate action in the upcoming 
4.0 release.

I'm using softupdate to update our systems including 'dist-upgrade's. 
Currently I'm hooking the updatebase task, but it's more logical to add 
the prepareapt task to the softupdate action and hook it for the apt 
configuration. My updatebase hook almost mimics the prepareapt task.

There is also the problem to install untrusted packages during 
softupdate, as prepareapt creates the apt configuration for unsigned 
repositories (FAI_ALLOW_UNSIGNED / 10fai), which is later removed in the 
finish task.

The current repository task seems to be idempotent, so there shouldn't be 
any problems.

Any objections?

Regards,

Jan-Marek

Subject: [PATCH] Add repository task to softupdate action

Allows usage of untrused repositories for softupdate and applies
changed APT configration, so 'dist-upgrade's can be run without
hooking updatebase.
