Hi, this is the thread to discuss the repository metadata to specify
which products this repository was created for, and for what purpose.
On the call, it was suggested to use:
<distro>
<id></id>
...
</distro>
Where the id is specified as a
http://cpe.mitre.org/files/cpe-specification_2.0.pdf string.
I would rename distro to platform (because we are using cpe) and it is
more generic for addons products.
For specifying purpose, we said using generic tags would be ok:
<keywords>
<k>update</k>
<k>unstable</k>
</keywords>
And clients could interpret those tags.
Comments?
Duncan
