For pkg URLs we might actually want:
pkg:<URL>
i.e., something like:
pkg:http://<repository-server[:port]>/<pkg-URI-reference>
e.g.,
pkg:http://foo.example/opensolaris.org/solaris/make
More specifically, I'm proposing these syntaxes:
URN --> pkg:///<vendor>/<pkg-name>
URL --> pkg://<location>/<vendor>/<pkg-name>
+-> pkg:<URL> where <URL> contains a pkg URN reference
Plus versions, hashes and signature fingerprints as URI fragments:
pkg:///<vendor>/<pkg-name>#<version>
pkg:///<vendor>/<pkg-name>#<hash>
pkg:///<vendor>/<pkg-name>#<signature fingerprint>
...
and public key/certificate fingerprints as vendors:
pkg:///<pubkey or cert fp>/<pkg-name>
and even:
pkg:///<pubkey or cert fp>/<hash>
The URN reference parts should be opaque to clients, but when used in
the <vendor>/<pkg-name> form they can convey some information to human
users.
Servers should be able to find packages by all of their URN reference
aliases. (I.e., by name, name and version, by hash, ...)
