+<PRE>2010/11/3 Michael Scherer &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">misc at mandriva.org</A>&gt;:
+&gt;<i> Le mercredi 03 novembre 2010 &#224; 20:05 +0100, Fabrice Facorat a &#233;crit :
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 2010/11/3 Olivier Thauvin &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">nanardon at nanardon.zarb.org</A>&gt;:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; Keeping this format is more simple, just changing the line specifiying
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; basis url in URPMI.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> And allow to keep compatibility with urpmi without maintaining too much patch
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; By changing the the format we can add features, make it clearer, etc...
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; But changing format to what ? XML ? YAML ? CSV ? something worst ? :)
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; Changes can done later.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> if really you want to change this you should :
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - ditch the url in favor of a XML-RPC or REST calls
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Given the fact we have slightly less ressources than Mandriva and that
+</I>&gt;<i> people on Mandriva side ( or at least, that's what I remind that fcrozat
+</I>&gt;<i> told me ) didn't have the ressources to have a more complex system, we
+</I>&gt;<i> should avoid this.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> - by doing this you will be able to user whatever version or name for
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the distribution. Indeed by using an url, you have to avoid space, or
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> too fancy names. On top of that you can change too much the format
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> You can use space in a url.
+</I>
+sure, but it's ugly and you need to escape the space ( url encoding )
+
+&gt;<i> And if we use a XML-RPC api, we will not be able to change it either, so
+</I>&gt;<i> that trading the impossibility of changing the format for the
+</I>&gt;<i> impossibility to change the API.
+</I>
+a good API won't be an issue :p
+URL parsing is harder and more error-prone
+
+&gt;<i> This could be done on the client side. On the client side, this would
+</I>&gt;<i> mean a little bit more bandwidth used, a little more cpu, and on our
+</I>&gt;<i> side, it would be less CPU. And I think cpu is a more rare ressources
+</I>&gt;<i> than bandwidth.
+</I>
+you can use cache on the server side, i.e provide a static file which
+is a cache of the query.
