#Is it possible to add custom repos to abroot?

This isn't a high priority question, just a quirk I was trying to figure out.

If I wanted to add a custom repository to grab packages through abroot, is that a possible use case? I don't mean downloading a .deb from a website and installing it in the same manner as other .debs on abroot like abroot pkg add ./<local-pkg-name>.
For example, if I didn't want to use Google Chrome's Flatpak and instead wanted to install it directly in the abroot filesystem from a newly added source, how could I do that, if at all?

You shouldn't really and not that easy. For your chrome case you would install it in vso-pico

#

If you want to use other repos in ABRoot that requires you to create another custom image which you have to maintain

Thanks for the clarity, I thought that was the case which is why I stopped trying a couple of days ago. I just wanted to pose the question since I know you can add your own repos to Fedora Silverblue in /etc/yum.repos.d. I wasn't sure if there was a similar exception here

Nah, for most cases it just isn't necessary as most stuff which doesn't needs Kernel modules works fine in distro box container
