Comment 1 for bug 1680621

Hi Joe,

The JSON at that URL isn't guaranteed to have a stable format, not is it GPG-signed, so I wouldn't recommend depending on it; it's only intended for use by the locator front-end. Instead, I would recommend investigating the streams that are available at http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/releases/streams/v1/.

If you're on Ubuntu, you can install the simplestreams package to get some tools for working with the format. If you aren't, you can use the bzr branch at lp:simplestreams, which is the upstream for the package. (Or, of course, you can just roll your own client-side code. :p)

Thanks,

Dan
