> There are different threads on the dev list, which discuss around installing
> bundles of bundles ([1], [2]). In this discussion, I presented the ideas
> behind a bundle we built to manage the installation/update of a new system we
> are building. To show more, how it is being done, I attach the code for this
> bundle here. I put it under ASL 2 and would also agree to add it to Felix as
> a contribution.
> The goals behind this bundle are:
> (1) In our system, we have potentially more than one source of
> installation/upgrade order. So we had to find a solution of making these
> processes thread safe in a sense, that another thread should not
> install/update/remove bundles while another thread is for example trying to
> deploy bundles through OBR. This is solved by having an InstallerService,
> which should be used instead of directly doing BundleContext.installBundle,
> etc.
> (2) Likewise we had to "serialize" uses of the OBR, which is also solved by
> the InstallerService mentioned above.
> (3) We defined the Assembly Bundle, which defines a set of bundles to be
> installed together.
> Any comments here or on the list are very welcome.
