Basically it's devicemap-data, as in
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/devicemap/trunk/data/1.0/device-data/src/main/resources/devicedata/

similar to what Reza made available on the VM:
http://devicemap-vm.apache.org/data/1.0.3/

I don't expect the VM to be around after retirement (if everything is
read-only, so would be the accounts at least for "devicemap")
thus it is unreasonable to expect above "devicemap-vm" URL to still work.

Doing the same via
http://www.apache.org/dist/deviemap/data/1.0.3 (or 1.0.4 for the
planned last release)
should remain and is usable by all clients (.NET maybe by tweaking the
config file)


Karaf on its download page http://karaf.apache.org/download.html
points to the mentioned HTML docs e.g. in this mirror:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/karaf/documentation/4_x.html

Technically there is no difference between Karaf's HTML "documentation",
the seemingly P2 repository for Apache Sling and DeviceMap Data XML
files being made available in a "W3C Device Definition Repository"
(DDR) instead of P2.

Maven would only work for the Java Client and leave the .NET clients
and console useless.

The W3C DDR client is here
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/devicemap/trunk/clients/w3c-ddr/

With the w3c file under "lib" using a Maven plugin that uses it in the
correct way while building
(dependency created on-the fly, all builds pass as do Snapshot
deployments: 
https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/devicemap/devicemap-simpleddr/1.1.0-SNAPSHOT/)

Please have a look at the code/lib and snapshot build, to decide,
whether or not you could approve it or not?

Thanks,
Werner
