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. >> ...If not being able to vote on .NET means only Radu or myself could vote, I >> guess it won't get the minimum number of PMC votes and we may have to leave >> them as "Patch" in trunk then?... >The DeviceMap code remains fully available if the project moves to >Attic, it's just read only.

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?
