I will always applaud any attempt at standardizing & documenting the metadata format, and I was never thrilled with glib, so this sounds great to me - I only wish that it had been this way from the beginning :)
In practice I am not certain that Satellite (and similar tools) can prefer the XML metadata precisely because it is cut down, so in repos which contain both Yaml and XML metadata it will not be possible to recreate the original Yaml from the metadata in the XML without losing the "packager" specific bits, should they exist. Perhaps that is actually fine, but it makes me uncomfortable, and we have to support the Yaml parsing anyway due to the distros which will only ever support Yaml, which unfortunately makes it is the greatest common denominator. I presume there are no plans to remove the Yaml metadata from repos entirely? _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
