Apache Ace, new in incubator and since last weekend also with code in svn, has some dependencies of Felix Subprojects like DependencyManager and (more important to me at least) DeploymentAdmin. Those have never released so far but should be, if you ask me, at least accessable as snapshot builds from some maven repository. Would that make big problems ?
The dependency manager has been released and can be downloaded from the Felix website. Deployment admin has not yet been released, that is correct. It probably makes sense to start working towards a release of the latter, even if it's not 100% feature complete yet.
How about deploying them - as they are - at http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository/org/apache/felix/ or similar ?
I have no objections against that, and perhaps we could even automatically deploy snapshots from within our continuous build server Bamboo. In fact, that has already been discussed but I think there were some issues with that (things that needed to be configured on the Bamboo server).
Once they are there, its much easier to use/test/evaluate them even outside of Ace.
True. For ACE itself it does not matter much, since it embeds all required components anyway (so it does not depend on any external repository).
