If you're talking about an R5-compliant xml, no I wasn't planning on providing that, but I am planning to extend the Felix OBR runtime so that its able to read it. I think to provide the R5-compliant repository.xml people will probably want to use https://github.com/osgi/bindex > I think that will ultimately not work out, since the R5 format is way more > expressive than the OBR format. > I'd just provide an R5 index directly from the artefacts You are correct that the R5 xml is more expressive than the OBR XML. So to support reading that the internal OBR representation will probably need to be expanded a bit. I'd rather have one runtime entity though, that supports both the Felix-OBR way of accessing it as well as the OSGi R5 Repository Service API, rather than creating two separate ones, TBH. But I've only looked at this for a few days now, so I might have to change approach if I hit a roadblock... Cheers, David
