Implement a Configuration File #2

Closed qalldredge closed 8 months ago

qalldredge commented 4 years ago

Implement a Configuration File for the Web Services where we can specify the repositories to be fetched (GPM, VIPM, NIPM). Right now, there is only one GPM repo and 2 VIPM repos. When we will add NIPM, it will be important to be able to specify the feeds in a config file rather than rebuilding the WebServices when a new feed needs to be added.

Quentin, Francois, I'd be happy to take a look at this issue if nobody else is working on it. Before I go heading off in the wrong direction, perhaps I can ask a couple of questions:

  1. Do you want this to be a single file for all repositories, or split by type (I think perhaps a single file is clearer)
  2. Would you plan on putting anything else in this file? (Perhaps not?)
  3. Do you have a desired file type/layout/format, or would anything that associates a Name, URL and Type be appropriate?
  4. Are there any other pieces of information you'd particularly like associating with a Repository?
  5. Would you plan on checking this file every 30s in the WS_Main timeout case?
