Carsten Ziegeler commented on FELIX-4785:
-----------------------------------------

I've now splitted this into a whole new bundle (scr-compat). This one registers 
the old ScrService and the ScrInfo.
The scr bundle itself is now free from the org.apache.felix.scr package (which 
currently causes the Aries bundle to fail therefore I disabled it for now).
As mentioned previously I think it makes sense to move the ScrInfo interface as 
well, if we still think this is usefull, we can add a similar interface in a 
new package in the DS bundle.

With the implementation I see a couple of problems
- How should we implement Component#getComponentInstance ? Currently it simply 
returns null
- Component#isServiceFactory has no equivalent in the DTOs - should we simply 
return false?
- The ScrInfo service is now always registered regardless of a system property 
which was previously used. I think as this is a compat bundle that's fine.
- The ScrInfo#config method can't get the configuration and therefore it does 
not print it out

>
> Current trunk contains version 2.0.0 of the org.apache.felix.scr API package. 
> While this is a logical step, this makes the new implementation unusable as a 
> drop-in replacement into existing installations which might use the 1.x 
> version of that API.
> I think we should go a more moderate way, leave the 1.x version in but 
> deprecate it and also provide the replacement API (if any). Then in one of 
> the further versions along the road, we can remove the API. This gives our 
> users a chance to migrate slowly
