Re: FYI, OSGi Features RFP

That's a fair comment.

However, we can still maintain our feature model, not following the 
specification.

Re: FYI, OSGi Features RFP

[davidb]

Hi all,

As Guillaume says OSGi Alliance is not an open source organisation. It is a
Standards Development Organisation (SDO) where all the OSGi specifications
are developed by a community of members. These members include committers
from Apache, Eclipse and other open source organisations. OSGi is an open
organisation, any company can join and participate. OSGi is not dominated
by one company or individual, specs are developed by volunteers from the
membership and the development process is democratic and open [1]. While
OSGi is driven by its members, there are public feedback channels, see at
the bottom of [1], so if someone is concerned about the direction of a
spec, post feedback, talk to any of the OSGi members or become involved
yourself :)
Most of the OSGi specs are developed through open source projects, many in
Apache. Implementation of an OSGi spec is entirely optional, btw.

Coming back to the RFP that I posted to the OSGi design git repo... This
came from the observation that there are still a number of different ways
to define OSGi applications. Grzegorz mentions Eclipse features below.
Karaf obviously has Karaf Features, Apache Sling has a provisioning
model/feature model and there are even more. The idea for a spec would be
that it would be nice to have a portable description of OSGi applications
that each community would understand. This is often how OSGi specs get
started: the observation that multiple projects try to solve the same
problem, in fact in most cases there were already pre-existing solutions
before a spec is written.
The RFP only states requirements, and these haven't even been discussed in
OSGi yet, but obviously it would be great if all interested projects have
representation in the OSGi discussions, so it's great that Christian has
already offered to wear the Karaf hat.

So... we're really at step 0. I personally think it's worth trying to come
up with a portable application/feature description model in an OSGi spec,
and that's why I'm proposing the RFP. If you're worried, interested or
excited by this: please feel free to provide feedback and help out! :)

Best regards,

David

Re: FYI, OSGi Features RFP

[Grzegorz Grzybek]

Hello

And how about Eclipse features? From certain perspective, these are also
higher-level concept than standard bundles, but probably not that
runtime-specific (I mean there's no "feature service" you can obtain and
for example list installed features).

I'm also a bit worried about forcing Karaf to implement post-factum
standard...

Re: FYI, OSGi Features RFP

[Christian Schneider]

I think the RFP is based on the prototype of the sling feature model.

See:
https://github.com/apache/sling-whiteboard/tree/master/featuremodel

As far as I know this is indeed inspired by karaf. I am not sure how
compatible it is at the moment. I will try to participate in the
standardisation effort and try to achieve some compatibility with karaf.

I didn't know about the OSGi alliance inside... if it's not an open
source organization and community not involved, I understand your fear.

Thanks for your explanation ;)

Because from an OSGi pov, it's not really possible to involve the Karaf
community, so if the community is not fully involved, I don't see how it
could be beneficial to it.   The OSGi Alliance is not an open source
organization, so things are developed internally amongst the OSGi members,
and you have to be an OSGi member in order to have any saying (we'll you
can always raise issues but you have no saying, really).

My fear is that we'll end up with a trimmed down version of what Karaf
actually supports (hopefully not without incompatible things) and that we
will be pressured to support it, and it may lead us to directions we may
have not pursued otherwise.

For example, blueprint is under specified and we have to work harder in
order to add things that are outside the standard.  Though, given the OSGi
Alliance is somewhat abandoning blueprint, I think my next move on this
area will be to get rid of the standard and just use an aries specific
schema instead (enhanced, but without having to use a difference schema for
the extensions).

But I hope I'll be proved wrong.

Re: FYI, OSGi Features RFP

[Guillaume Nodet]

I was not in any way aware of this RFP and I'm not part of the process, but
this looks really inspired from Karaf Features at least.
The author, David B. is a Karaf committer, so he may be able to comment on
what he has in mind.

Having said that, I'm not so sure it's a good thing for Karaf, but we'll
see. Hopefully things will go well this time, but I've already seen several
things go wrong at the OSGi EEG...
