Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
Is there any interest these days in developing and maintaining a |
4 |
separate repo spec [1]? Among other uses, it would help in describing |
5 |
standardized repo features related to metadata/layout.conf settings |
6 |
allowing devs to reference a single, canonical source in order to |
7 |
support repo/profiles features. |
8 |
|
9 |
The current spec doesn't define many repo specific features leading to |
10 |
people jamming all sorts of conditional features in metadata/layout.conf |
11 |
via profile-formats and other entries, none of which is defined in the |
12 |
current spec. |
13 |
|
14 |
Mostly I'm asking because I'm tired of trying to support a pseudo-spec |
15 |
and am quite close to dropping pkgcore's support for the few |
16 |
profile-formats features it tries to enable. |

Thanks, |
