I have further comments, but -F (some other format) output can and is
expected to differ from the default output. The default output is
expected to be "human-readable" while all other output formats are
intended for parsing. pkgrepo and other utilities that support -F
already do this.
Whatever we do here, the default, "human-readable" output should
generally fit in 80 columns.
However, I also agree with Brock that the same column should not have
different values depending on whether -F ... is used.
Look at pkgrepo.py's usage of misc.get_listing() for a more generic way
to implement this. I had intended on converting client.py to use that,
but haven't got around to it yet.
So then, the right approach in my mind is to:
* make default output not wrap in 80 columns generally speaking
(that means don't show the proxy column in default output)
* don't change the value of the URI column; instead use a separate
column that contains the value you want users to see by default,
and for -F output, show additional columns
Thanks,
