The line between a depot operation and "web interface" is a bit blurry to me. To me, anything the depot server provides is a "web interface."
I've completed Stephen's initial work on the RSS/Atom feeds for the depot repository to the point where I can get a live bookmark to show up for my local depot when publishing packages to the repository. However, one of the things that I need for that to work is to be able to link to something for each of the rss update entries. At the moment, I've just set it up to link to the /manifest/0/ for the package that was published. But that isn't very user friendly. As such, I'm considering adding /info/0/ to the depot server. So, visiting this URL: http://hostname/info/0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080620T101740Z Would return: Name: SUNWipkg Summary: State: Installed Authority: opensolaris.org (preferred) Version: 0.5.11 Build Release: 5.11 Branch: 0.91 Packaging Date: Fri Jun 20 10:17:40 2008 Size: 1.2 MB FMRI: pkg:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],5.11-0.91:20080620T101740Z As such, if a user subscribed to the rss feed provided by a depot server, they could just click a "live bookmark" entry (in FireFox) and be taken to that output. Should this output be rich output? (HTML) or raw in nature? (text identical to that which the client produces) Thoughts? -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
