Hi All,
After the new release of the org.osgi.core:1.2.0 and
org.apache.felix.bundlerepository:1.2.0, the trunk do not compile
anymore if you download felix from the SVN with an empty .m2 maven
repository. In fact, several bundles dependes on
org.osgi.core:1.1.0-SNAPSHOT which has never been released so they fail
to compile.
I have create the issue FELIX-715 and I have attached a simple patch.
There are two possible solution modify the dependencies to the new
1.3.0-SNAPSHOT version or bind the dependencies to on of the 1.0.X
release. I think that for org.osgi.core artifact every project should
point to the released version, while for the bundlerepository artifact
it is better to depend on the latest SNAPSTHO. Of course the final word
is own by the main developer of the particular artifact. Furthermore, we
may start to use the version range feature provided by maven. WDYT?
I think we should just all point them to the released version (1.2.0 for
all of them). If there is a need to update to a snapshot one can do it
easily.
Yes, in general the dependencies should be on a released version...we do
this a little differently for main to make sure it always has the latest
snapshots when building from trunk, but otherwise it should not be the case.
P.S.:I have also found that the org.apache.felix.metatype is using a
wrong version number it should be 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT instead of
1.0.3-SNAPSHOT. Should we change it?
I think that version is correct - updating it to 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT creates
a funny situation once we decide to release a 1.0.4 as we have higher
snapshots which have been released earlier. And I personally don't like
decreasing the version number in the pom for a release :)
Well, this seems somewhat contradictory to the above point then. It
seems metatype should depend on a released artifact and only on a
snapshot if it needs it.

But in the end it doesn't matter that much - so whatever is prefered.
Please note that in other modules we then have to go to 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT
as well.
