YaST UI table usability

I've just watched my wife delete a repository in the YaST Qt UI: She right-clicked the table item, nothing. She pressed Delete, nothing. Only then she noticed the Delete push-button below the table.
Obviously we can improve the usability: Delete should be handled the same way as a function key so that YCP receives the `delete event. That would be quite easy. Maybe the context menu is doable too.

XML Package Metadata Verifier

I needed to check the consistency of a RPM repository that I created by hand, in the XML Package Metadata format ("YUM"). So I wrote a verifier in bash using xsltproc and sha1sum.
Here: verify-repodata
