Can you give a specific example? We're in overtime for finalizing the
spec, so we need to nail this quick.
For cvs we don't need the url parameter but rather:
repository => {
type => "cvs",
vc_spec => {
username => "anonymous",
password => "",
repository =>
":pserver:anonym...@srezic.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/srezic",
module => "Tk-Pod",
port => undef, # set if different from standard 2401
},
web => ...,
...
}
The contents inside vc_spec are completely VC-specific. For CVS it would
be these parameters, other VCs could have other parameters (sorry, I
don't know anything else but cvs, svn, and git).
Theoretetically the URL needed for svn or git could also go into such a
vc_spec structure, but this would probably be too complicated.
Do we need the distinction between anonymous (read-only) and read-write
access? Or should be assume that only the read-only specification is
necessary?
I'd argue the latter for things that distinguish.
I think it's also sufficient. But there should probably be a note in the
META specification that the read-only repository is meant.
