Luckily there are no APIs that currently take a URL type as an argument. The only ones that do (ServiceDeploy, for example) currently use a string, because they allow a partially specified URL, so can't use charm.URL. Note that not even charm.URL is itself currently necessarily fully specified - the revision can be omitted.

The charm URL in a bundle means exactly what it would mean if you typed it in a juju deploy command. That is, it is dependent on the charms available at bundle deploy time. An unspecified revision uses the latest available revision; an unspecified series uses the latest LTS series that's available for the charm. > As noted above, a Reference may not have a schema as well, so this > suggestion seems to imply that "foo" becomes a valid URL. Yes, both ParseURL and ParseReference both already allow the schema to be omitted, defaulting to "cs:" if so. > Maybe having just URL could be made cleaner, though.

What area would you like to see more detail on? cheers, rog. -- Juju-dev mailing list Juju-dev@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/juju-dev
