Hi Andrew,

When you have time - there is no urgency. You can get a list of the
repositories from the application server using existing API. In
java-land this is;
RepositoryApi#getRepositories(..)
The endpoint is "/api/v1/repository". The API call that HD is already
calling;
PkgApi#getBulkPkg(..)
Will return data that has the fields;
repositorySourceCode
repositoryCode
You can also specify the repositories for which you would like to get
"bulk data" using the request argument;
repositoryCodes
For repositories that are already configured on the host, you can
presumably get a list of URLs. From this list of URLs, you should be
able to work back to the repository sources (provided with
#getRepositories(..)) and then back to the repository. This approach
should be fairly straight forward.
Let me know if you need any help or directions.
Thanks! What HaikuDepot does is get a list of available packages from
the OS Package Kit. This means the list will already contain only
packages from repositories that the user configured as package sources
(currently only via the command line pkgman). HaikuDepot records in its
package model which repo a package is from. When it asks the web app
about a package, it just needs to add the repositories known to Package
Kit (for bulk requests) or the repository of the individual package to
the requests. This info is already available and just needs to be passed
to the WebInterface methods.
The functionality to learn about repositories known to the web app will
be handy when implementing a feature to add new repos from within
HaikuDepot. Repositories that the user would not have known about
otherwise I mean. The rest of the code will then work as is.
Best regards,
-Stephan
