<div dir="ltr">Hi Matthias,<div><br></div><div>I think I missed your point before. I think I will add a flag in the metadata that users need to put, to state whether the repository is using the same protocol as the metadata or not. This way it could be more portable to use the repository in different protocol. For example users can clone a repository from git and use that repository in the local without having to change the metadata file itself.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 1, 2016 at 11:13 AM, Akbar Gumbira <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:akbargumbira@gmail.com" target="_blank">akbargumbira@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Matthias,</div><span class=""><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><span style="font-size:12.8px"></span><span style="font-size:12.8px">I guess support for relative URLs should be trivial and make the<br></span><span style="font-size:12.8px">repositories more portable.

</span>I guess support for relative URLs should be trivial and make the<br>
repositories more portable. And as far as I can see it should be<br>
possible to have relative and absolute paths side-by-side, no?<br>
