Why didn't we simply take the URL as "pseudo" URL, ie. as identifier
that does not reflect the actual URL? Much more pleasant to look at than
a UUID, anyway.
As I already pointed out in the ticket, that's what it was intended to
be. The URL of the original repository was used for sake of simplicity.
AFAICT renaming/aliasing the attribute would have done the trick.
As it looks (please correct me, if I'm wrong), the commit breaks
building Haiku with packages not yet committed to a package repository,
since now get_package_dependencies downloads repository caches from the
given repository URLs. One of the design goals of the build system
integration was, that it should be possible to build and test Haiku with
a new package (particularly one of those used by the base system (like
ICU)) *before* actually committing the package to the package repository.
CU, Ingo
