Hi Andrew,
The juju-metadata command generates simplestreams files to be used in private
clouds for example. Both:
juju-metadata generate-tools
and
juju-metadata generate-image
will output files containing ":".
We also care during testing, when the tests use local storage to save the
metadata files. A quick snippet of a failing test bellow:
simplestreams_test.go:372:
s.assertWriteMetadata(c, false)
testing/testing.go:108:
c.Assert(err, gc.IsNil)
... value *os.LinkError = &os.LinkError{Op:"replace",
Old:"C:\\Users\\ADMINI~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\1\\gocheck-89438594918
3117216\\0\\.tmp\\juju-filestorage-736520790",
New:"C:\\Users\\ADMINI~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\1\\gocheck-894385949183117216
\\0\\tools\\streams\\v1\\com.ubuntu.juju:released:tools.json", Err:0x7b}
("replace C:\\Users\\ADMINI~1\\AppData\\Local\\Temp
\\1\\gocheck-894385949183117216\\0\\.tmp\\juju-filestorage-736520790

94385949183117216\\0\\tools\\streams\\v1\\com.ubuntu.juju:released:tools.json:

Regards,

Simplestreams generates files with names like this:

Unfortunately, the colons in the filename are illegal on Windows, which
complicates getting tests running on Juju, and getting a fully-functional juju
on Windows.
Dumb question: when/where do we care? A URL is not a filesystem path, and we
don't store simplestreams metadata on disk other than in provider storage as
far as I'm aware. Provider storage is only on-disk for manual/local bootstrap
nodes (for now).
I brought this up with Scott Moser, and it sounds like it might not be the end
of the world to change the delimiter that is used to be something
Windows-friendly.
I wanted to bring this up on juju-dev in case there are juju-specific concerns
about the proposed change to the filenames.
I'm new to simplestreams, so I'm sure there are nuances I don't understand,
which is why I'm posting it here.
