Old description:
package_repo requires a url in the repo-file. (the repo-info file is read
in by package_repo to build the binary on-disk repo which is then served
by http)
This really doesn't make sense. You're always going to know the repo's
base url... so why would you need to specify it while building the repo?
This makes repo creation a lot more complex than it needs to be... I also
haven't been able to find anywhere the repo.info url is actually used.
(don't get a packages's URL mixed up the internal repo url)
Example:
URL: http://packages.haiku-
os.org/haikuports/master/repo/x86_64/c623cf2b4d85bc452d5a21a2586e552fe1b04f6d66eca0663f257461c106db9f/repo.info
{{{

vendor "Haiku Project"
