I fully agree with Gert. And AFAIR (sorry, still a bit jetlag ;)), it's
the proposal that I sent last week:
- SMX 5 with Karaf 2.x
- SMX6 with Karaf 3.x
The reasons that I exposed last week were:
- Karaf 2.x is very stable with projects used in
- We have potential overlap between K3 and SMX (for instance K3 jndi and
SMX naming are quite the same), that we should cleanup. Moreover,
depending of the SMX distributions, some cleanup should be done in the
SMX features.
- New features from K3 may require some additional work, and I don't
think it makes sense to postpone SMX5 for that (I think about RBAC new
features for instance)

Hi,
Raul had one more suggestion to add to that list: doing a 4.6.0 with
Karaf 2.3.x and using Karaf 3.x for ServiceMix 5. Instead of
resorting to a vote for something like this, I think it would be
better to try and build a consensus first.
I think we should go for "SMX 5 with Karaf 2.3.x and SMX 6 with Karaf
3.x", for two reasons:
- From a "marketing" perspective, using Karaf 2.x for ServiceMix 5 and
Karaf 3.x for ServiceMix 6 would give us the opportunity to signal two
important changes to the community: officially dropping JBI/NMR
support would be the highlight of ServiceMix and Karaf 3 would be the
highlight for ServiceMix 6. We can probably even get the first
ServiceMix 5 release out next week or so, if we focus on the task at
hand and if all goes well.
- From a technical perspective, this does give us quite a bit of
flexibility to cater to the needs of the community by allowing us to
nicely do Karaf 2.3.x/2.4.x and 3.x based releases side-by-side for a
while, until we managed to convince everyone to switch to Karaf 3 ;).
Regards,
Gert

Hi
I think somebody should start the vote. We have 2 options:
* SMX 5 with Karaf 2.3.x and SMX 6 with Karaf 3.x
* SMX 4.9 with Karaf 2.3.x and SMX 5 with Karaf 3.x

I've already repeated my position up to be annoying :-) but I repeat that
for me either solutions are ok
Maybe a quick vote could be the fastest and more democratic way to take a
decision ?s
Could someone please summarize the available options?

Hi Raul,
Yeah, I think 4.9.0 is a bit of a strange version number as well. But
you're also right that some users will take a bit longer to move over
to Karaf 3. What's more: the version may not even be as temporary
for us as we would hope, perhaps we end up doing another release in
that series if people in the community are asking about another Karaf
2.x based release after this one.
We do want that to be based on the current ServiceMix 5 codebase
(without JBI/NMR) and not on the current ServiceMix 4.x codebase?
Because the latter was the original plan and we failed to get any
contributors to help out with that effort.
I do wonder if we won't end up confusing people as well, when
ServiceMix 4.6.0 suddenly no longer has any JBI/NMR support in there.
We can probably communicate that though, so it might not be that big a
problem, but we might also want to reconsider Krzysztof's proposal to
go with 5.x for the Karaf 2.x-based assemblies without JBI/NMR (and we
can have a few of those, using Karaf 2.3.x and 2.4.x) and use 6.x for
the Karaf 3-based assemblies.
