This is pretty cool, and would love to have something similar for OSGi
metadata in Fedora. There's already capabilities for querying this kind
of metadata directly from a filesystem and doing it from rpms shouldn't
be too tricky.
Should be definitely possible. I also plan to query Maven metadata. But
I'm not that familiar with OSGi, what kinds of information would you be
interested in? Does it mean just storing and querying the manifests or
should I use something more high-level?
