Hi all, Paul, yes that video was produced by EclipseCon Europe where I did a talk about this subject :) If I remember it well there were plans to enhance the bndtools repoindex tool ( https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/blob/master/REPOINDEX.md ) to support generation of metadata for subsystem archives. I'm not sure how far that work has moved along, but I'll try to find out...
