I don't see the difference? Hierarchical or Peer delegation policies between repositories are orthogonal choices to which module system backs that repository. It's precisely this orthogonality that causes me to think that we can't just say "create a new repository implementation" to change a particular rule/policy. There are ~ N^2 choices of overrides to what the default repositories do. e.g. (probably not a good example since the osgi module system would use OBR?) 1) A simple file repository containing jam files 2) The same containing osgi bundles 3) A remote repository containing jam files 4) A remote repository contains osgi bundles And those are just two of the many orthogonal choices 2^2 = 4 -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Adrian Brock Chief Scientist JBoss, a division of Red Hat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
