+<PRE>Hello,
+
+I think current binrepos is not really perfect :
+
+- Using separate repository for each release require having multiple
+ copies of some files
+- removing old binary files from history is easier than before, but
+ still not very simple
+- Using the same directory structure as packages (with current and
+ releases directories) in binrepos is not very usefull I think
+
+So I think we could replace binrepos svn with something like this :
+
+- on valstar, a script to upload a file, accessed by ssh using &quot;mgarepo
+ upload&quot;. The script saves all files in the same directory, using
+ sha1sum for the filename. And the directory is accessible by http.
+ The script could also take an URL as an argument, so that the file is
+ downloaded from this URL instead of being uploaded by the packager (for
+ people with slow connection). The script can also send an email on a
+ mailing list when a new file is uploaded.
+- the uploaded file becomes accessible at this URL :
+ <A HREF="http://binrepos.mageia.org/files/[sha1sum">http://binrepos.mageia.org/files/[sha1sum</A>]
+- the same sha1.lst file as we have now is used to list binary files in
+ the SOURCES directory
+- when doing &quot;mgarepo co&quot; or &quot;mgarepo getsrpm&quot;, mgarepo download all
+ files listed in sha1.lst from <A HREF="http://binrepos.mageia.org/files/...">http://binrepos.mageia.org/files/...</A>
+- when a file is no longer used, it is only removed from sha1.lst, not
+ removed from the server
+- If we want to save space, we can have a script to generate the list of
+ all used files from all packages, and remove files not in this list
+
+What do you think about this change ?
+
