Hello all, First of all, I agree with Karl as well, we should try to get a release ready!

In fact, after talking to you I already updated the getting started guide. Feel free to comment on it, or extend it even further. http://incubator.apache.org/ace/getting-started.html > - add a clean distribution based on Karaf (ACE-137) Indeed we discussed adding a Karaf based distribution. This however should not replace the existing distribution, but add extra targets for people that want to use Karaf. As such, I don't think we should hold off the release for it as we can always include it in the next one. On the other hand, if you have it almost done, by all means commit it so it can be included! > - add a Karaf feature deployer (ACE-76) This has been discussed somewhat more off-list but I don't think the issue has yet been updated with the conclusions. In short: a) We can try to "import" a karaf feature and try to convert it into an ACE feature. b) We cannot however support Karaf features as is, as there are still some outstanding issues with that: Karaf features cannot be updated: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-399 There are mismatches between what deployment admin can do, and what Karaf features could do: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACE-109 So having a) would be nice, but again I don't see we should hold off the release for it. Option b) needs a lot more discussion and even fixing in Karaf before we can properly support it. > Now, Felix bundlerepository and others dependencies should have been > released, so it's no more a show blocker. We should release: - Apache Felix Dependency Manager (core) - Apache Felix Deployment Admin - Apache Felix Auto Config Processor I'm working on those. > I started to work on the two first points this week end.

We need to finally get a release out the door, with many more to hopefully follow. > On 04/26/2011 01:24 PM, Karl Pauls wrote: >> All, >> >> i think it's time to get a release of ACE out of the door.
