My putback of:
Revision 428 / e011e45fe2cd
...integrated fixes or enhancements for the following bugs:
* 2239 repository attribute system needed
* 2603 hgignore needs to be updated for package gui
* 2622 testutils directory structure problematic
As part of the changes for bug 2239, various meta-data and configuration
attributes were added for repositories. Among the attributes added was
an RSS/Atom feed identifier.
This identifier is used by RSS Readers to identify the feed content
generated by the pkg.depotd(1M) process. The Universally Unique
Identifier (UUID) for the feed will be generated for the repository upon
initialization (usually at depot startup) if it is not already present.
If multiple copies of the same repository are being served by multiple
depot processes, the feed id must be the same for each copy of the
repository; otherwise RSS Readers serviced by the depot process will not
be able to correctly identify new RSS entries or process the feed
correctly when they connect to different depot processes.
The need for this identifier to be the same is a requirement of the RSS
/ Atom feed format. It is recommended that you simply copy the
attributes in the [feed] section of the cfg_cache file (or the entire
file) to the inst_dir of any duplicate repositories.
Finally, be aware that this work is preparation for integration of bug
1324 which actually provides the RSS / Atom feed functionality that will
use this new attribute.
This notice has been added to a new "Integration Notes" page on the pkg
project page:
