+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #634884 +++

Description of problem:
I have tried to create channel with assigned repository using XMLRPC API call and was not able to do so.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Galactica 20100910.2


How reproducible:
1 of 1


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use this XMLRPC call to API:
2. API: ret = client.channel.software.create(key, CHANNEL, \
                     'Name %s' % CHANNEL, \
                     'Summary %s' % CHANNEL, \
                     ARCH, PARENT, CHECKSUM, \
                     {'url': '', 'id': '', 'fingerprint': ''}, \
                     {'url': 'http://10.34.26.211/TESTING/repo6/', 'label': CHANNEL+'repo', 'sync': True})
3. Check if channel exist and have repository assigned


Actual results:
Channel is created, but repo not and it is also not assigned to it. This also do not allow me to create channel with multiple repos.


Expected results:
I should be able to create channel with multiple repos. I guess that as repos are standalone entities, proper fix here would be to remove these possibilities from client.channel.software.create() call (as they do not work anyway) and create client.repo.create()/.delete()/getDetails()/... and a call to assign (or remove) a repo to a channel.

IMO this should be fixed or removed from docs before GA.


Additional info:
I was not able to find any error in logs regarding this.

Also client.channel.software.getDetails(key, CHANNEL) shows *only one* assigned repository, although channel have two in WebUI.

I agree with the "remove these possibilities from the client.channel.software.create() call (as they do not work anyway)" - if we can, just comment out/remove it from the API doc for the API call. 

We can look at correctly implementing these API's post 5.4 GA.

Functionality added with bug 562463. I will revert it for now and reopen the bug so we can add this functionality properly later on.

Nonfunctional possibility to add repository along with new channel over XMLRPC API has been removed from code and documentation. We do need to create new API (client.repo.create()/.delete()/getDetails()/...) that will handle repositories.
