It does exist in sling for quite a while as well... I guess in a nutshell, we have two things called features: karaf features and sling features. Now, there is an effort to have a spec in the area (namely, OSGi features). As far as I'm concerned, putting the spec work into either sling or karaf seems a little confusing - if we do it at Felix, we have a more neutral ground and in the end, hopefully, both, karaf and sling can support OSGi features as part of their features. regards, Karl > Regards > JB > > On 11/08/2021 10:42, [email protected] wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > As many of you know, work is happening on the next OSGi Compendium R8 > > specifications [1]. > > > > One of the new specifications is the OSGi Feature Service (chapter 159) > > [2].
