Summary
This introduces a Metadata struct with all relevant properties to identify a dependency and still be descriptive.
Use Cases
This allow users (e.g.
libjvm
) to use this metadata as layer metadata and not the whole dependency. That woulda) Simplify comparison if there is a cache hit (special logic for
deprecation_data
)b) Ensure that no cache miss happens because some metadata changed (e.g.
url
)Checklist
