Browsing, searching, etc. in a p2 meta-data is also possible using
the b3 aggregator. The editor can be installed into your IDE from
our update site at

shameless self-promotion :-) I have a tool that lets you browse p2
repositories, see composite structures, IU dependency tree/list,
etc. I
can provide prebuilt binaries if anyone is interested (the sources
are
at github already).

Another way to reduce the pain would be
to introduce smarter
protocols that would enable p2 queries to be sent and
evaluated on a
server rather than copying the "database" in its entirety to
the client.
I don't think that downloading the database is a bad idea. Once
the
database is local, all future queries can happen local. There
seems to
be an issue with too many database downloads, though. Sometimes
p2 does
too many downloads for the same database. I whish the caching
would be a
bit more agressive. Another option might be to ship software
packages
pre-loaded with local databases.
The simple solution that is feasible
short-term is to maintain separate repositories.
I tend to agree. Even for my target platform definitions I tend
to be
more specific and avoid composites. Luckily, I have shell access
and can
browse the download servers to find the one I want. But other
users just
get the 404/403 and will never find out if a repo is a composite
or not.
I wonder if directory browsing should be enabled for download
servers.
