myrepo.conf && url: file:....

[Klaus Kaisersberger]

Hi there,

the FILE-protocol specification allows for a hostname, so in general it is:
file://<host>/<path>

When specifying a path on the local machine, the <host>-part can be left out (or replaced with localhost), leaving you with either
file://localhost/<path>
or its abbreviation
file:///<path>.
