Comment (by apl-haiku):

What would an UUID rather than an URI bring us here? I find the URI more
 generic.

 Yes instead of UUID, some URI approach like {{{hpkr:haikuports_x86_64}}}
 would be a good solution.  In fact there is already a system of such codes
 in HDS [1] and if those were used it would also help comprehension across
 the wider data and software.

+1 to renaming "url" in the code,

 It would be OK for "url" to remain as-is in the HPKR format as you
 suggest, but I would only want to see this change happen if there is
 capacity for it to be coordinated through everything including HDS.  That
 will take time because it means coordinating API change.

 ---

 IMHO, as nice as it would be, given the effort involved, it is probably
 best sorted out later.
