The publication URI directory +;;; breaks into three pieces: head/middle/tail/. head comes from the +;;; publisher, middle comes from the parent, and tail comes from this +;;; RE. head is just the prefix for where we're allowed to put stuff +;;; within the publication repository; this could be configured by the +;;; IRBE or we could ask the publication repository, we currently +;;; think the latter is better. Middle comes from this RE's parent, +;;; and should be a new attribute in the up-down XML protocol: it's +;;; the parent's advice on where to put this particular CA's outputs +;;; in order to get the nice hierarchical properties we want. Tail is +;;; something this RE comes up with, it's per-CA, and all that really +;;; matters is that it's stable; it could be gensymed, or could be our +;;; internal name for the CA, whatever. This hack may require finding +;;; out the parent's publication URI (which we might get from the +;;; parent's cert or not to be decided later), sort this out later. |
