Would it be possible to move http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/metadata.dtd to https://api.gentoo.org/dtd/metadata.dtd ? It feels like we're going to switch to https:// anyway and this could be done with a proper relocation. For a certain period of time http://www.gentoo.org/dtd/metadata.dtd could http 301 to api.g.o Portage Team is CC'd so they can fix repoman once the new location is available.

I see gentoo-x86 has been updated to https URLs on www.g.o already, this would be the last reason I can think of to do it. With that off the table, no need for further consider this.

Sure, permanent works for me.

That doesn't outweigh the loss of the identifying character of the URL. We'd end up with two IDs for the same DTD and a bunch of work. > - version control over metadata.dtd We have always had that. In CVS and now at https://gitweb.gentoo.org/data/dtd.git/
