@cstamas Squashbasing gives the cleanest trees. Just make sure to give
yourself credit for the commits of yours that were cherry-picked.
index-reader should be identical for both branches. There's only a single
package, and I bumped the OSGI package version to 5.2.0, since the additional
public static fields are a minor API change over 5.1.2 . Since nexus is using
karaf features / pax-aether-url , this isn't as necessary or helpful or as it
might be, but it does mean that the feature assembly can safely refer to the
6.0 index-reader snapshot, since the osgi package version is explicitly
backwards compatible.
I actually ended up doing a third version of the changes as kludges on top
of the nexus-public maven repository plugin. The main annoyance with
index-reader was having to subclass Expander / Compactor to handle the
additional fields, where a default mapping would have been simple.
Since I needed to build some mapping tables anyway to stash the relevant
manifest headers in an asset child map where they wouldn't get in the way,
doing Expander/Compactor wasn't that much of an extra hassle, but if the
index-reader is used to build federations, it is useful to be able to have
unrecognized fields be passed through as strings (e.g. if jigsaw is released,
exchanging headers from module-info.class (and now possibly the manifest?) will
be useful for federated systems).
