Hi Philipp, The new repository.xml is similar to the proprietary OBR format in semantics, but is not backward compatible on the XML level. However OBR 2.0.2 can read both the old proprietary OBR format as well as the new spec-based repository.xml format. They both feed into a common internal model. The OBR implementation decides what parser to use based on the namespace of the XML document fed in. The API to parse the XML documents hasn't changed and can be used to feed both old and new documents in.
So yes the implementation can still read the old formats, so you should be able to use them as well as the new spec-based formats...
