/QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d should be copied into chroots as part of "minimal"

I feel it is a defect that /QOpenSys/etc/yum/repos.d is not included as part of the "minimal" chroot setup.
If yum is installed into the new chroot, yum will fail inside the chroot with:

There are no enabled repos.
 Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have.
 You can enable repos with yum-config-manager --enable <repo>

Assigning to @aaronbartell to comment on whether this is truly a defect or not, or if this is by design

I don't know if I've installed yum inside a chroot. I always modify a chroot's packages with yum --installroot=/QOpenSys/mychroot1 install somepkg Many customers pre-create the chroots and have the developers auto log into them via HOMEDIR alteration. This is so they don't need to give *ALLOBJ or *IOSYSCFG authority.

With all that said, I don't think we should add it to minimal.lst because then we'd need a separate minimal that didn't have it; one that was actually "minimal". Better to create wrapper .lst files that would include minimal.lst as part of their install.

This should probably be handled as an rpm package that we ship that provides those repo files, similar to the fedora-repos package on Fedora. If yum required it, then they would automatically get pulled in.
