Subject: [PATCH v2 10/13] setup: make repository discovery self-contained
Date: Tue, 07 Jul 2026 09:21:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707-pks-setup-split-discovery-and-setup-v2-10-aab372cd227c@pks.im> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260707-pks-setup-split-discovery-and-setup-v2-0-aab372cd227c@pks.im>

In the preceding commits we have introduced a separate repository
discovery phase and refactored the logic so that we have two clear
phases:

  1. Repository discovery, which doesn't modify the repository itself at
     all.

  2. Repository configuration, which takes the information we have
     discovered to set up the repository.

Extract the first phase into a new function `repo_discover()` to further
stress these two different phases.
