Use Provide-Capability for the org.apache.sling.scripting.sightly bundle

[Radu Cotescu <ra...@apache.org>]

Hi,

Given the recent update [0] of the Sightly language specification I'm
tempted to use the "Provide-Capability" OSGi header [1] for the
org.apache.sling.scripting.sightly bundle to provide information about
which specification version is actually implemented:

    Provide-Capability: io.sightly; version=1.1

Do you think this would be a good idea? Should the value of this header be
different?

Thanks,
Radu

Why not - we can just mention that "io.sightly" is used for Sightly
modules, in our specification of Sling capability names. As long as
our naming is consistent I'm fine with it.

Hi Bertrand,

I also had a look at the other thread but I think that for the Sightly
bundle we should aim to offer a vendor independent capability name, in case
somebody else would like to provide the same capability from a bundle not
related to Apache Sling.

Would this be too far-fetched?

Thanks,
Radu

I saw SLING-4358 fly by and just started a thread here about defining
a Sling standard for those values.
