This would make the server more complex, but it could look at the Accept
header, and if text/xml is there, then send XML, otherwise send HTML or
plain text.

I'd prefer to keep the content simple so that it even works on "less

So sticking with "plain HTML" or "plain text" is desirable in my view.
With that said, I'm open to being convinced otherwise.

How about an XML document with a reference to a XSLT stylesheet.

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?
