</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Keeping this format is more simple, just changing the line specifiying
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; basis url in URPMI.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> And allow to keep compatibility with urpmi without maintaining too much patch
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; By changing the the format we can add features, make it clearer, etc...

</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Changes can done later.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> if really you want to change this you should :
</I>&gt;<i> - ditch the url in favor of a XML-RPC or REST calls
</I>
We can provide both, just matter of some code.

&gt;<i> So product.id could be kept unchanged, but the way urpmi talk to the
</I>&gt;<i> mirror provider could be improved.
</I>&gt;<i> Last but not least, by using XML-RC or REST calls, we could filter the
</I>&gt;<i> output of mirror list ( for example retrieve the list of mirror for
</I>&gt;<i> cooker in EU zone )
</I>
Notice it can done by passing argument to URL:
<A HREF="http://..../...list?continent=EU">http://..../...list?continent=EU</A>

I do agree XML-RPC/REST make it clearer and probably more extensible.
