This all looks pretty good. Is there any value in putting the pkg
metadata in as separate XML elements, instead of just putting them in
a text blob? That way external tools could process the feeds in more
interesting ways.
Either something like:
<pkg:maintainer>value of opensolaris.maintainer</pkg:maintainer>
<pkg:ISA>value of ISA</pkg.ISA>
or to avoid mapping between package attributes and XML element names:
<pkg:attribute name="opensolaris.maintainer">value</pkg:attribute>
<pkg:attribute name="ISA">value</pkg:attribute>
Cheers,
Chris
