Agree Marcel.
ACE-137 and ACE-76 are optional right now for the ACE release.

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

I'm agree.
As I said to Marcel, before cutting off the release, I would like:
- enhance the documentation, especially the started guide
This I agree about. In fact, after talking to you I already updated the getting
started guide. Feel free to comment on it, or extend it even further.

- 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. I should be able to
complete it tomorrow.
Again, I don't mind including things if they are done. I would rather not delay
our release for features that are not yet done. We need to finally get a
release out the door, with many more to hopefully follow.

All,
i think it's time to get a release of ACE out of the door. What are
other peoples ideas on this topic? I'd like to gather some feedback
and ideas right now and would try to get a release up for vote at the
end of the week.
Right now, I'd say its probably best if we just add LICENSE and NOTICE
files to the projects and use maven to release the artifacts. Not sure
whether we need to change our parent pom for using the correct
stageing repository etc. - anybody has an idea about that?
What do others think?
regards,
Karl
