Hi Ole,
Must say that your RPM effort is both imaginative and bold so I am
looking forward to seeing how it develops!
Your right - for OSGi, our jars and our dependency jars would require
OSGi metadata, but I think the idea of the RPMFactory adding that OSGi
metadata might be 'A Bridge too Far'.
When the time comes for it I think ADS following the best practices
pioneered at Felix and using the osgi plugin would be the safest bet.
BTW - The maven team is considering to dual purpose maven repos for both
development and OSGi application install/upgrades. This will allow a
yum like install/upgrade service for OSGi applications via the Felix
Bundle Repository commands.
kind regards,
John

John,
You would probably be the one to answer this.
The RPM Factory will create RPMs out of all the maven repository jars.
I think for OSGi, those jars need to have a manifests added as well.
Would it be helpful if the RPMFactory generated the manifests and
added them
to the jars prior to packaging them?
Cheers,
- Ole
