Hello;
The idea of having repo servers in multiple geographic regions has come
up before, would this be a good time to look into that? Our current
infrastructure is pretty slow outside of Europe.
On this note; would it be OK to add a GUID for the repositories? I am
currently using the access-URL as a unique key between the HaikuDepot
desktop environment and the application server, but this approach will
stop working once there are mirrors in place.

Funny story, in my (unmerged) repo rework I removed the repo url from
the repos themselves.
From what i've been told, the url in the repos was so pkgman could
tell if a repo was a mirror or the original. My opinion on all of
this is having the repos self-aware of their location is kind of silly
and creates a lot of repo management problems as they are binary and
you can only manage them via package kit tools.
I'm 1000% onboard with a UUID in the repos (it was one of my goals).
This would be a solid way to validate if a repo is the original or a
mirror to prevent duplication
