There is an issue here, here is no persistence between the calls to the 
different yum helpers, so for this to work we have some choices to make.
1. repo-enable changes the repo enabled permanent by changing the 
'enabled=' in there *.repo files. (UGLY)
2. write the packagekit repo state to some kind of conf file and make 
the helpers read and set the repo states from the conf file.
3. add a repolist parameter to all helpers.

I prefer 2.
