</I>><i> And allow to keep compatibility with urpmi without maintaining too much patch

</I>><i> if really you want to change this you should :
</I>><i> - ditch the url in favor of a XML-RPC or REST calls
</I>
Given the fact we have slightly less ressources than Mandriva and that
people on Mandriva side ( or at least, that's what I remind that fcrozat
told me ) didn't have the ressources to have a more complex system, we
should avoid this.
><i> - by doing this you will be able to user whatever version or name for
</I>><i> the distribution. Indeed by using an url, you have to avoid space, or
</I>><i> too fancy names. On top of that you can change too much the format
</I>
You can use space in a url.
And if we use a XML-RPC api, we will not be able to change it either, so
that trading the impossibility of changing the format for the
impossibility to change the API.
><i> So product.id could be kept unchanged, but the way urpmi talk to the
</I>><i> mirror provider could be improved.
</I>><i> Last but not least, by using XML-RC or REST calls, we could filter the
</I>><i> output of mirror list ( for example retrieve the list of mirror for
</I>><i> cooker in EU zone )
</I>
This could be done on the client side. On the client side, this would
mean a little bit more bandwidth used, a little more cpu, and on our
side, it would be less CPU. And I think cpu is a more rare ressources
than bandwidth.
In fact, doing this on the client would be better on the privacy side.
