What I wanted you to explain was some of code movement you intended into Felix of preferences and other services. However you never talked to this list about it. The commit was in preparation for this work. I know you're smart enough to understand why I initially brought up this particular commit.
Gotcha. So, these modules breakdown into 2 groups, OSGi services and Kerberos SAM: 1) Regarding the OSGi services, I did bring this up publicly, but it was so long ago that I'm not surprised if anyone forgot: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/directory-dev/200512.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] You can see there that on 7-DEC-2005 I brought up moving these services to Felix and there were no comments so it was my understanding that these services were OK to move to Felix now that we have an OSGi project here at ASF. I haven't moved them yet simply for lack of bandwidth. So, my updates to M2 POM's and svn:ignore's were actually clean-up with no further "plan." I did just happen to notice that they were out-of-date w.r.t. general building. 2) Regarding Kerberos SAM, I was asked about 2 weeks ago to lead the standardization effort on behalf of OATH, w.r.t. pushing SAM through the IETF. However, I was waiting for a formal go-ahead signal and a supposed kick-off conference call, but this hasn't been scheduled yet. Kerberos SAM is currently a stalled IETF draft. It is harmless to mainline it with the 1.1 branch, if that is preferable to having it in my sandbox. But, as I mentioned, it is only a draft and were we to mainline it we would likely not see client support until later this year and we would have deployed code that is backed by a draft that is not assured to gain RFC status. So, again, I don't have much of a plan here until I hear further regarding the restart of a standardization process. ...
There has been very little light shed on the work you've been doing on OSGi and you seem to be avoiding the topic. I want it out in the open.
My OSGi efforts have been focused on the "Felix" project, which is maybe why it appears I am avoiding the topic on the "Directory" project. W.r.t. these specific services I would like to continue development as part of the Felix project. Since they are written to the JNDI interfaces, there is actually little effect on greater ApacheDS development. W.r.t. merging other OSGi work in the 1.1 branch I will be sure to layout a plan shortly. I did a flurry of work to get ApacheDS assembling with Felix to get a demo together for JavaOne. I apologize for not having the time to detail my plan. In short, much of my recent work has been to push along the Felix project, at the Felix project, and to produce a working demo with Felix for JavaOne. Now that things are moving along nicely there, I will have more bandwidth to deal with OSGi as it directly relates to ApacheDS. Enrique
