As an FYI, my plan for implementing the new catalog format is roughly as
follows, split by phase:
Phase 1
=======
* copy common catalog code into server/catalog.py and change it not
inherit from pkg.catalog (to avoid the server being affected by client
changes in the next phase)
* nuke rename code wherever it lives
* send out for review and putback
Phase 2
=======
* implement catalog v1 format client-side only, without the ability to
perform catalog/1/ operations (the client will retrieve v0 catalogs and
then transform them locally)
* send out for review and putback
Phase 3
=======
* implement server-side catalog v1 changes and client-side catalog v1
retrieval
* send out for review and putback
-----------
Splitting the implementation into phases above should:
* make review easier
* get more testing and ensure v1 catalog clients can retrieve and
transform v0 catalogs properly
* allow better coordination with transport changes
Feedback appreciated.
Cheers,
