           Summary: yanelrepo:<realm-ID>:<repo-ID>:<repo-path> URIs break
                    realm modularity and encapsulation
           Product: Yanel
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Protocol
        AssignedTo: yanel-development at wyona.com
        ReportedBy: guillaume.deflache at wyona.com
         QAContact: yanel-development at wyona.com


One may use e.g. a yanelrepo:from-scratch:my-repo:/ URL, where "from-scratch"
is the identifier of a realm as defined in realms.xml (and "my-repo" the
identifier of a repository as defined in the realm definition file, e.g.
realm.xml).
The problem is that if realm IDs collide when adding another realm or one
simply wants to use another IDs all similar URL will fail.

One want to limit this would be to make such URLs work: yanelrepo::my-repo:/
These would use the current realm, instead of looking for the realm with ID ""
as they currently do. (I am not sure it is currently even possible to define
realms with empty IDs.)

And maybe we want to forbid use of the URIs with explicit realm IDs, as I am
not sure it is useful, and it is also kind of a security concern as realms can
peek into one another's repositories.
