https://github.com/apache/maven-indexer/pull/13
I have been consistently confused about which branch is live, so it would
not surprise me either way ☺️.
I had been working against main on some code to use the central index to
build a database for use as an OSGI resolver. I noted the missing fields...
after I'd done a whole bunch of defactoring to decouple index reading from the
rest of the code.... D'oh!
I can cross port these changes to master (well, not the index reader ones)
:) My main goal is to get the extra fields into the index on central. I'd
presume that 5.1.2 would be the smaller jump.
Would it be possible to make a 5.1.2 release? And would it be possible to
have run it running on central in the near future?
My primary concern if I were the admin would be the need to perform the
sequential read of the entire bundle jar to generate the sha-256 checksum. It
ought not be too significant a burden compared to the overall level of
activity, but depending on what else is going on on the storage side, it might
be annoying.
I haven't checked to see how full reindexing is handled, and if a
previously calculated SHA-256 could be fetched for less than the cost of the
sequential read (lucene + cache + storage load / architecture = magic).
Alternative would be to save SHA-256 hashes in a simple k/v store.
(now that full sha-1 has been broken, it is probably time to switch over
to SHA-256, but that's a much more pervasive change).
> Add OSGi 5.0 MANIFEST headers to OsgiArtifactIndexCreator

> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Balazs Zsoldos

> It would be extremely useful if the following MANIFEST headers were added to
> the index:
> - Require-Capability
> - Provide-Capability
> - DynamicImport-Package
> Especially the first two would be necessary to be able to build up a database
> that helps finding dependencies for unsatisfied bundles.
