Sounds interesting.
If the obr commands are deprecated then I agree that the feature service
is the path to go. I just was not aware that
you can install something without defining a feature.
To be completely in the line of the feature service it would probably
also be possible to create a kind of wrapper feature just with the one
bundle to pull up the rest.
So bndtools could be used to define everything besides the wrapper
feature but that would be no big issue as it is quite trivial.

There is an easy way to install bundles.
Just use the feature:requirement-add command.
feature:requirement-add
'requirement:osgi.identity;osgi.identity=org.apache.aries.blueprint.core;type=osgi.bundle;version="[1,2)"'

We are currently discussing this on the karaf irc.
As the long term solutions are not yet ready I would use a
practical approach for now.
How about creating a feature with a list of bundles out of the
-runbundles that bndtools creates?
That would then not even require a repository.

Hi Christian,
Thank you very much for this discussion. It is very interesting

Getting back to more immediate practical matters…
Given that there is not currently a bnd plugin to create a
features file, and since I do not want to head in a solitary
direction, what do you recommend I do to automate the generation
/ installation of my features?
What I have:
* OBR repositories “deployed” by the devs, which are handed over
to the deployer
* A Karaf command for the deployer to browse the available OBR repos
What I need:
* A means to actually install and start the bundles
I don’t mind doing this against the Features service in runtime,
since I am building a “deployment” service anyway, to be used by
the deployer.
Any thoughts to help me get up and running quickly would be very
welcome. :-)
Cheers,
=David
