Hi Hackers,

the support for *path* in repositories (the piece appended to baseurl) 
is still not perfect in libzypp. I am about to fix it, but first i've 
got a few questions.

- DO WE NEED THIS AT ALL? :O)

  AFAICT, we needed this for multi-product media (like patch-CDs
  probably). I'm not sure why, though, can't we just go about it with
  two different URLs? If some 'conent' file references the other
  repo with a relative path, it should be no problem for libzypp to
  just use the baseurl+this_path, no need to treat them separately(?).

  Is the 'path' part of YUM's definition?

  If your answer to these is 'NO,YES,NO', i'll be happy to remove all
  the path stuff from libzypp now instead of fixing it for no good
  reason :O) (maybe with some backward compatibility, reading the path,
  and appending it to baseurls). And forget the next question then.

- our repository definition allows multiple baseurls to be defined, as
  well as mirrors (these are ignored currently IIRC). What to do with
  this:

  [foorepo]
  baseurl = http://url1.org/repos
  baseurl = http://url2.org/whatever
  path = foorepo/openSUSE/11.1

  not to mention mirrors. Should we just use the path for all of the
  baseurls?

cheers,
jano
