We could may create a redirect from build.o.o/download to the configured download server, but that would mean quite a lot traffic on our developer interface. I am not sure that I like this idea.
Why not incorporate the URI as argued directly into the rpm header; then we do not need a redirect. Furthermore we do not need osc for obtaining the final download URI.
Because if one thing can be deriver from the other, then there is no need to duplicate information. There will always be at least one additional information the final URI will contain: whether a package is available from DVD or not.
The argument for not providing such an rpm tag directly was that the final URI is not determined at package creation time and will therefore contain additional information (see previous mails) *. My counter argument was to simply inject the primary download repo URI with hindsight into the header of an already created rpm once it is made available on a public repo.
Also, having both in there limits for example any url changes.
In a fact both fields would then have to be changed instead of one; no principial infeasibility. Nonetheless I can not think of any possibility where such a change should be necessary. A package burnt on final distro-dvds will on from the release date always be available from there so that no change should be necessary. That is the same for other repos as well so that the header injection needs to take place only once at the release date of a new distro. There is no problem on making newer or same versions avaiable on other repos since this tag is meant to contain the primary repo URI, not the mirror URI. * that is where the cat bites into its own tail. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-softwaremgmt+help@opensuse.org
