</I>>><i> 2010/11/3 Olivier Thauvin <<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">nanardon at nanardon.zarb.org</A>>:
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> > Keeping this format is more simple, just changing the line specifiying
</I>>><i> > basis url in URPMI.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> And allow to keep compatibility with urpmi without maintaining too much patch
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> > By changing the the format we can add features, make it clearer, etc...
</I>>><i> > But changing format to what ? XML ? YAML ? CSV ? something worst ? :)
</I>>><i> > Changes can done later.
</I>>><i>
</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>><i>
</I>><i> Given the fact we have slightly less ressources than Mandriva and that
</I>><i> people on Mandriva side ( or at least, that's what I remind that fcrozat
</I>><i> told me ) didn't have the ressources to have a more complex system, we
</I>><i> should avoid this.
</I>><i>
</I>>><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>><i>
</I>><i> You can use space in a url.
</I>
sure, but it's ugly and you need to escape the space ( url encoding )
><i> And if we use a XML-RPC api, we will not be able to change it either, so
</I>><i> that trading the impossibility of changing the format for the
</I>><i> impossibility to change the API.
</I>
a good API won't be an issue :p
URL parsing is harder and more error-prone
><i> This could be done on the client side. On the client side, this would
</I>><i> mean a little bit more bandwidth used, a little more cpu, and on our
</I>><i> side, it would be less CPU. And I think cpu is a more rare ressources
</I>><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.
