- Use the solver, and during parsing inject something like provides:fix(bugzilla:23444) when filling the repodata. Then applications could inject a requires in the solver fix(bugzilla:23444) and just solve. I dont't know the consequences of this.
It is cleaner than having to search the free form description. Now that I think of it, having the patch metadata in a form different from Provides seems wrong, because that only forces you to write new code for what is served by Provides better.
I disagree. A provides is (at best) something which another entity can require. A provide should not be misused to ease searching. You can equally well define an fixed format for other random data, e.g. we could have attributes 'patch:fixes = "bnc#12345"', if we absolutely must.
