[Bug 1324853] Re: interface to get manifest corresponding to file in installed package

[Michael Vogt]

As a bit of a drive-by I create a branch that solves this issue. The CLI interface looks like this:
$ click info /opt/click.ubuntu.com/com.ubuntu.calendar/0.4/dateExt.js
{
    "description": "Calendar application for Ubuntu devices"
...
}

if that looks acceptable I will write a integration test. If you prefer
a different way of solving this, I'm happy to implement it differently.

Title:
  interface to get manifest corresponding to file in installed package

Status in “click” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  For reporting crashes from click packages, we need an interface to get
  the package manifest corresponding to a file name in a click package.
  Currently this requires something like running "click pkgdir FILENAME"
  and then appending .click/info/PACKAGE-NAME.manifest, which is pretty
  awkward (not to mention requiring decomposing the directory name from
  pkgdir to find the package name) and we should wrap this up.
