Since I need the ability to serve any previous snapshot, I'd also need
to snapshot the search data, etc. One copy of the search data alone
wouldn't suffice, unless I'm misunderstanding you.
At the moment, I'm thinking the filesystem layout needs to change for
the depot from:
repo_dir/
catalog/
file/
index/
pkg/
trans/
updatelog/
cfg_cache
to:
repo_dir/
file/
metasets/
{metaset_name}/
catalog/
index/
updatelog/
pkg/
trans/
cfg_cache
The above structure would provide the ability to serve a specific
snapshot of the catalog/updatelog/search for the repository. Note I
purposefully left the pkg/ directory at the top level, since regardless
of which metaset was being served, the older manifests should still be
present.
I'm inclined to rename pkg/ to manifest/ as well...
Thoughts?
