These are indeed the questions that need to be answerd first, so we don't
have to correct things later. So what data do we need? Also into what
detail do we want to go? In your example the boot.iso is onto file level.
Interesting for the ISOs, but most likely not realy needed for individual
files.
Things that need to be included are apart from the abvious parts that will
bring up the URL in the end are decription, an ID , the country and such.
Also klet us not forget that download.opensuse.org will be doing the exact
same thing most likely automatically for you, so if you point to
download.opensuse.org it should already know a lot of things. (Small)
disadvatage is that with download.openSUSE.org you can not decide yourself
what mirror you want to use.
So let us not forget the external additional repositories, like Guru or
Packman wich might also have mirrors for themselves.
