DependencyManager + DeploymentAdmin used in Apache ACE

[Toni Menzel <to...@okidokiteam.com>]

Hi,

Apache Ace, new in incubator and since last weekend also with code in
svn, has some dependencies of Felix Subprojects like DependencyManager
and (more important to me at least) DeploymentAdmin.
Those have never released so far but should be, if you ask me, at
least accessable as snapshot builds from some maven repository. Would
that make big problems ?
How about deploying them - as they are - at
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/felix/
or similar ?

Once they are there, its much easier to use/test/evaluate them even
outside of Ace.

?
cheers, Toni

I'm +1 on this. Better release something that can be used / tested, then do
not release it because it is not feature complete.

The dependency manager has been released and can be downloaded from  
the Felix website. Deployment admin has not yet been released, that is  
correct. It probably makes sense to start working towards a release of  
the latter, even if it's not 100% feature complete yet.

I have no objections against that, and perhaps we could even  
automatically deploy snapshots from within our continuous build server  
Bamboo. In fact, that has already been discussed but I think there  
were some issues with that (things that needed to be configured on the  
Bamboo server).

True. For ACE itself it does not matter much, since it embeds all  
required components anyway (so it does not depend on any external  
repository).
