If so, you can just create a repository file in XML from your local
bundles and give a URL to this XML to the RepositoryAdmin ..., you can
even create the XML on the fly using your own URL handler. Just treat
your local files as a repository.
I assumed that he was talking about a locally installed bundle, not just
one available on the local disk.

The bindex from http://www2.osgi.org/Repository/BIndex code can
generate the XML given a set of bundles.
Kind regards,

The general approach I could imagine is to convert the manifest of the
locally installed bundle into a Resource (this is what the OBR impl
does when dealing with local bundles too)

Seems like you just need to try it and see where we run into
difficulty and then we can improve the OBR impl as necessary.
