The metadata you mean? Yes, thats going to be in osinfo. I intend to write a minor that extracts just volume, system and publisher IDs and a boolean indicating if the ISO is bootable but all that doesn't need to use libosinfo (though there will be some minor duplication of code).
I think we're talking at crossed purposes about the feature I mentioned above.
I mean that if I have a directory full of ISO files, then it should be possible to make available some metadata about those files. I'm considering an ISO to be a special sort of guest that hasn't been installed yet. libvirt (nor libosinfo for that matter) doesn't currently know anything about directories full of ISOs. Nor about guest templates.
Yeah I think while you were talking of keeping a common metadata table/db while I was talking about tracking of all ISOs that user have so any app/lib can just make a simple query to get the list. -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) FSF member#5124
