[jira] Commented: (FELIX-481) Change OBR default repository url

["Guillaume Sauthier (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-481?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12566952#action_12566952 ] 

Guillaume Sauthier commented on FELIX-481:
------------------------------------------

Can we think about not having a default repository but no error ?
I mean, if you are running your Felix behind an internet HTTP proxy, you will have a timeout.
It could be great if I could start the bundlerepository bundle without default repository (or at least, havin g a way to specify my repository)

WDYT ?

> By default (if no repository is configured) BundleRepository uses http://oscar-osgi.sourceforge.net/obr2/repository.xml as a default repository. As Richard mentioned on the mailing list this repository is more a "didactic" repository.  Having this repo is somehow then useless and adds confusion to the unexperimented (e.g. one has a wrong spelled config "obr.repository.url". In that case the default is used => expected bundles will not be found)
> I suggest the following alternatives:
> 1. No default => fail to initialize with an misconfiguration exception
> 2. use the osgi alliance repository
> 3. use a (to be created) felix obr repository
