Hi Jean,

Just few details about config.xml files:
- as you said the documentation is completely out-of-date,
- the DTD (or XML Schema) for config.xml files does _not_ exist 
(unfortunately). A bug was open for that but it seems it disappeared; i have 
no clue why, but i may missed something because it seems there is now a 
script to convert config.xml files for oscar<5 to files for oscar>=5 (but i 
do not know what does this script; Bernard, Erich, some info on that point?).

So i guess you just have to do what i do: read existing config.xml files, try 
to do something similar and test it to see if it works (i know i know it is 
not really a scientific approach :-p). It is something we have to fix, it 
should be nice to have at least a DTD to validate our XML files.

For oscar_packages.xml file, you have to have that at the root of your OPD 
repository, OPD will use it to get information about your OSCAR package. BTW, 
if you want to test your repository it is now possible to use the OPD CLI, i 
completed the code few months ago (feel free to contact me directly if you 
need more information about that). Currently the OSCAR package have to 
include all binary packages, it may be possible in the future to use yum or 
apt, but i really doubt it is possible to do that today.

As i said, feel free to contact me directly if needed (i currently do not have 
the time to read the mailing list every day), i use OPD almost every day so 
if you have problems i may be able to help you.

Regards,
