Yes to the index of local repository part. [CONTEXT] My immidiate plan is to mirror the Ibiblio repository so that it's local.
Then set the mirrors base directory on the plugin. Then the plugin will produce a repository-metadata.xml (Version 2) per a JIRA entry I submitted. This will be placed at the base of the repository. Then the RPMFactory picks that up and starts producing RPMs using it. [OTHER USE CASE] Someone may want to just create a repository-metadata.xml for a parent project. And just create RPMs for the parent project.
