Currently oi-userland the userland relies mainly on printing values from Makefile variables or calling pkgmogrify for listing: * supplied packages, * required packages, * provided paths, which is extremely time consuming when collecting data in every component. For instance, on my machine it takes 18 minutes in serial to build a mapping between component fmris and directories while it takes only a we few seconds if metadata is pre-generated in a JSON file. The metadata can be also used for dependency resolution and tracking updates of each component using third-party online services (pip, dependabot.com, opam, ...). Since bass-o-matic provide such logic in BassComponent the class should be extracted to factor the implementation.
