<PRE>Hello,

The media names on Mageia 1 and Cauldron currently look like this, when
added with urpmi.addmedia --distrib :
 Core Release
 Core Release Debug
 Core Updates
 Core Updates Debug
 Core Backports
 Nonfree Release
 Core 32bit Release
 Core 32bit Updates
 ...

I suggest we replace them on Cauldron and later versions with names
like this :

 cauldron/x86_64/core/release
 cauldron/x86_64/debug/core/release
 cauldron/x86_64/core/updates
 cauldron/x86_64/debug/core/updates
 cauldron/x86_64/core/backports
 cauldron/x86_64/nonfree/release
 cauldron/i586/core/release
 cauldron/i586/core/updates
 ...

I think it's better because :
 - it doesn't have spaces, so doesn't need to be quoted in urpmi command lines
 - doesn't have capitals, so easier to type right
 - includes version of Mageia, so you can quickly see which version(s)
   you're using
 - match the paths on the mirrors, so I think it's more clear what the
   media is and easier to remember

What do you think ?

</PRE>
