--- Comment #1 from Rainer Meier <r.meier at wpkg.org>  ---
There is no "settings.xml" related to wpkg.js. I guess you're referring to the
configuration of WPKG-client as it uses a <file /> node in the settings.
Although <file2 /> is quite meaningless. To do it the proper way I would rather
propose to extend the <file /> node:

<file priority="10" />

Where priority is optional (defaults to a value like 10). It would allow to
specify multiple WPKG locations where WPKG-client could chose from paths with
same priority randomly which would allow some load-balancing too.

However this might require quite some implementation effort. To achieve a
simple failover maybe just adding.

<file-fallback />

Might solve provide a fallback solution.

Although I am sure this also requires some detection whether the primary node
is available and whether it should switch to the failover instance (offline
mode?).
