<stikonas>well, we wouldn't be able to parse xml inside live-bootstrap

<stikonas>it's not just dependencies for running rootfs.py, it's also dependencies inside live-bootstrap

<stikonas>and we have no way to parse XML, especially early in the bootstrap

<stikonas>live-bootstrap checksums downloaded files inside bootstrap

<stikonas>which means 1. we need to have URL and hash in the same place

<stikonas>and also 2. we need way to pair URL and package name

<stikonas>so perhaps the simplest option would be to keep individual sources files with "url hash" and write a python function to produce "manifests" such as sysa_manifest which has sources for the whole system (and perhaps rootfs.py downloader can also consume it)

<doras>stikonas @stikonas:libera.chat: I'd still rather avoid touching the bootstrap itself for this change.

<doras>I only want to expose this for consumption by Python. Perhaps when I have code implementing this it would become more clear.

<doras>Actually, I see the last sentence you wrote is exactly my idea/plan.

<stikonas>doras: well, try to implement something, it will be easier to discuss once there is some code

<doras>I hope to find time this weekend.
