Hello,
I asked myself, why the buildservice uses the ":" as seperation character? This makes some trouble in commandline, as : must always be escaped and also it looks strange from users side.
Wouldn't it be better to introduce "/" in it's full meaning? The repositories are already stored hierarchical on the download servers. Having the same in the buildservice would be nice. E.G. my home:dstoecker:perl would be nice to have as link perl in home:dstoecker. (or better home/dstoecker/perl).
I know that would probably be a bigger change right now, but it would make the buildservice compatible to the general Unix path conventions.
This would cause problems with the URIs of the API. Consider the resource http://api/source/home/bauersman/test/_meta You can't tell if it adresses the metadata of the project home/bauersman/test or of the package test below the project home/bauersman.
